Fascinating look at the likely reality of a man who created a leading world religion. Helps one to understand many of the conflicting things about Islam and some of how the Middle East has wound up as it has. If you take nothing else from it, it is at least engagingly well written.

I have always loved the writing of Mitch Albom. I have not been very religious or spiritual but in the past year I have been trying to expand and understand this level of beliefs. The writing had me hoping that Heaven existed rather than what it just being a human created reality.

When I saw Palmieri interviewed on the Rachel Maddow Show, I started crying. This book doesn’t take the sting off November 8, 2016, but Palmieri lays out a very touching, emotional, and informative road map to get us back to the mindset where we believed our first female President will become a reality.
