In this evangelical novel, Myers utilizes a lot of dialogue to move the story along fairly quickly, and the parallel occurrences between the two worlds come together neatly. There is also a fair amount of action, and because Conrad is transported into a parallel universe where God sends his son to earth in modern day society, there is a challenge in trying to connect the experiences Eli and his followers go through with the experiences known of Jesus from the Bible. All of the characters are flawed, grasping with their faith in God and His Son, although only Conrad and his daughter are fleshed out in any detail. Some are fleshed out just enough to be unbelievable. Instead, Myers relies on the ideas and teachings of the Bible to carry the story. The mood is mainly curious and romantic for Conrad in the parallel world, and more sad and contemplative for his daughter. Although Myers often employs a humorous tone, he also sometimes gets very preachy.
