This book was really DUMB!!! The main character David is taken to a meeting with all these famous people to decide how to save humanity. The archangel Gabriel tells them to find the solution to this question: "What does humanity need to do, individually or collectively, to restore itself to the pathway towards a successful civilzation?" Gabriel tells them they have 5 guesses or God will destroy/end the world. Sounds kind of interesting, right? But their guesses are pretty silly (something you and I probably would never guess) and the solution is SOOO stupid, you will die! In fact, the solution is not even a solution - it is the REAL LIFE cause/problem with the world right now! How could the author get the answer SO BACKWARDS??? If you are a thinker, you will want to throw this book out after you are done!
Don't Read Further if you don't want to know the 5 guesss and the solution:

Guess 1: Courage (wrong answer)
Guess 2: Seek wisdom (wrong answer)
Guess 3: Be courageous (wrong answer)
Guess 4: Self-discipline (wrong answer)
Guess 5: Develop character (wrong answer)
So they used up all their 5 guesses. Then suddenly they come up with the REAL SOLUTION and tell Gabriel and he accepts their answer: DO SOMETHING. Do Something is the solution to all humanity's problems. Since I couldn't ever believe "Doing something" is the solution, I hated this book. What a let down. They didn't even try "faith" or "love" or something like that. "Do something"??? But all humans are already "doing something". It just isn't the right something.
Disclaimer: Got this book free of charge from Book Sneeze. But gave honest review.
