The Life of God (as Told by Himself) by Franco Ferrucci
Raymond Rosenthal (Translator)By Toria Burrell, 1/28/11
Philosophical and compelling. This book should become a classic if it hasn't done so already. It's the sort of book I can imagine on reading lists in schools and colleges. It is a mind-blowing, deeply thought-provoking book, following and challenging the history of creation and mankind, right up to present day, with plenty of nail-biting yarns along the way!
You will be drawn in by the humble, bewildered character, God, who longs to communicate with man and find out what he's doing here on earth, and why these creatures worship him so much, when he, God, is just as flawed, imperfect and base as man himself. It's God's own personal journey (like all of us) trying to make sense of life, trying to follow different philosophies, trying to understand man and at the same time, falling in love with beauty, nature and all the pleasures that life entices us with.
Ferrucci shows an extensive knowledge of history, philosophy and religion, but he also writes a compelling story too.
