God Is Dead

by Jr., Ron Currie

I love this book because it gives us a glimpse of what the world would come to if God did not exist. It shows us new human emotion, as well as new beliefs. Highly recommend.

    I don't know that the author was intending to point out how important God is to the world, as much as he was pointing out the need for us to have faith in something...Man found other things to go war over...people found other 'things' to worship, and oher reasons to find themselves superior to others over. For such a short novel, the writer managed to convey some very deep truths, I found...a true allegory.
    Every small event was deep in meaning, when you took the time to ponder it...as my 17 year old pointed out, it would be a great novel to study in class

    the story is actually saying how important God is in this world. It shows the different scenarios that may happen if God wasn't around. You can all say there are better ways to show it but the way Jr. Ron Currie describe it was very unique and original. A must read book!
