The Broad Highway

An old tale of a young man's journey to his future. I loved the gentle humor of the story and the narration by the hero, as well as how he reacts to the things that go on around him in the story.

However, I would only recommend it to adults. There is frequent swearing but of more concern is the explicit statements that “Jesus was one of many sons of God” and “miracles are just examples of faith working” (context means mind over matter, saying a true miracle isn't possible), as well as saying “Scripture says” Eve “ate an apple, then lied” and ruined the world thereby....definitely not what the Bible teaches. Also the Preacher “teaches a Gospel not of narrowness but of good works.” Honestly, it's got a lot of theological stuff for a general market book, even one this old. His Jeffersonian deism got on my nerves and annoyed me because it claimed to follow Scripture but was never further from it. Thus I can only recommend it to those secure in their doctrine. Lacking the Jeffersonian deism, this book could easily have landed on my favorites list.
