" While reading this book, I really grew to enjoy Gideon Mack, an atheist minister who comes to faith after meeting the devil. Actually, meeting the devil is the hook, but the story is really about Mack's life. The book is mainly a manuscript, written by Mack (remember, this is fiction), but the postscript raises interesting questions about his reliability in narrating the account. The central question of this book is: Do you have to believe in God to be an effective minister? It's a lot more complicated an answer than it seems on the surface. "
