The Final Summit, by Andy Andrews, is the second in a series of which I have not had the privilege of reading the first. Fortunately you can jump right in and be riveted by the great storytelling of Mr. Andrews, for he captures your attention immediately. David Ponder is a Traveler, one who goes through time and meets the Greats throughout history. In this book they all meet in Heaven where they are given a chance to save humanity. They are given five chances to answer a question. “What does humanity need to do, individually and collectively, to restore itself to the pathway toward successful civilization?” We get to hear from a few great people from history, King David, Joan of Arc, and one Erik Erickson, a man few of us have ever heard of but will research after reading this book.
Theologically many of us will struggle with this book, as we wonder how a few of these agnostics even got beyond the pearly gates. It is a very politically correct book, and there is some very thought provoking conversation that goes on for sure. The research Mr Andrews has put into the book was thorough and thoughtful, and again the story-line is creative and riveting. Not one to be taken all too seriously as far as theology goes, but a fun read, and I would definitely pick up a sequel.
DISCLAIMER: I received The Final Summit free from Thomas Nelson Publishers in return for a review of the book. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
