"My review" by willem M. -
IMHO - as a born-again Christian in the charismatic-Pentecostal mode - this book is a poorly conceived, poorly constructed and poorly written no-brainer Christian science fiction. The book essentially revolves around the main character's disillusionment - while he is in heaven - with his son having become evil after his (the main character's) death and his consequent request to an angelic council that his existence be wiped from history, because then his son would retroactively not come into being. Distraught angels try their level best to convince him of the stupidity of his decision to be wiped from history, but he absolutely and resolutely stick to his decision. So, eventually he is "wiped" from history and consequently his name is struck from the Book of Life. There is no, "Let me take his place"(as stated in the description of the book)aspect in this book. Neither Jesus nor God, the Father, ever features while he is in heaven. The main character presents as a spiritually extremely immature and intellectually very foolhardy person, whom even angels, trying their level best, cannot make to "see" common sense. I will be ashamed to lend this book to anyone, because of it being a no-brainer of a book and thus indirectly an insult to my good judgment and the harm it might cause the borrower's intelligence.
