GummyAge: 55-65Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5February 15, 2013GummyAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5This review was written for Cross Roads.Very different kind of book ~ first 50 pages rather slow, but it picks up after that! Great story but not as good as "the shack". Would recommend it but probably won't read it again ~ I re- read "Shack" several times.

The work takes the reader along with the main character on his journey to find out just how he built his world from his free will, and just how ugly it really was from the inside! Deeply looking into the soul of one man, how his life affected others, and his chance for forgiveness, mercy, and redemption! Great read....

CalebAnother World4 Stars Out Of 5A Pleasant ReadJanuary 7, 2013CalebAnother WorldQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for Cross Roads.I found the book to be an enjoyable read---for a work of fiction. Young offered some interesting ideas and personifications of the triune God.
I feel that some portions of the story where lifted from C.S. Lewis' "The Great Divorce," but it was different enough not to make too much fuss over.
I know that Young had to make one of the characters unlikeable, but he did such a good job that I never really got attached to him. When he encounters difficult situations, I didn't feel a great deal of sympathy for him.
Overall, it was an enjoyable escape from reality with a few ideas that make the reader contemplate non-traditional concepts, but nothing I would consider groundbreaking or theology shaking. -

I had just read Cruel Harvest and compared it to this child's story of redemtion. Cross Roads is fictional and Cruel Harvest is a real life drama. However, I was not disappointed.

Lynda WoodWinnipeg, Manitoba CanadaAge: 55-65Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5February 6, 2013Lynda WoodWinnipeg, Manitoba CanadaAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for Cross Roads.I thouroughly enjoyed this read. You can't help but come to really care about what happens to Tony (I was hoping God would restore him in the end). As in real life, the revelation of Who God is, is a process, not an instant event. The dealing with the sin in our life has to be a process, we could not handle it all at once and each event is a "dying" of the flesh so that the Spirit of Jesus can increase in us.
I loved the characters and the humor. God really does have a sense of humor. We have to remember this is a ficticious story but the character and love of God shines through, there is always an element of truth in fiction. Very good.
