THE BOOK OF ELI
THE BOOK OF ELI
BY SAM MOFFIE
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Eli Canaan is a believer. And, like many, he believes himself to be a principled and moral man. Well, for the most part anyway. But, after a series of missteps, sins, some would say, Eli's life is suddenly and unexpectedly altered forever. A spurned wife, a gypsy, a hex and spiritual intervention may all be at the root of Eli's unexpected, deep and earnest introspection, which is like nothing he has ever experienced before - in this world.
God and Jesus, as well as a host of zany characters, help show Eli the pathway to redemption (among other things). During his journey Eli is entertained by atheists, a renowned psychoanalyst, and one of the greatest jokesters in history, Groucho Marx. Eli takes nothing for granted as he is guided through a series of events and opportunities for learning what ought to be everyone's purpose in life - living the commandments as they were meant to be lived by.
An uplifting story of hope and meaning and belief in the goodness that can come by opening one's eyes to the Heavens...
Sam Moffie once again creates a story which every reader will identify with, feel empathy for, and be entertained by. The protagonist's adventures and concomitant soul-searching take us to a heightened level, whereby we ourselves begin to seek and ultimately find the road to salvation, if we choose to follow it. And, as any reader of Moffie knows, a good laugh is never more than a page away, if that...
Like Vonnegut... no holds barred
Like Rand... the consummate pragmatist
Like Aesop... a moral message disguised by humor
Moffie... master of all domains

His first three books have "won numerous awards and received glowing reviews" so this one should be a good read too!

I definitely have to read No Mad now to find out what The game of Jinx means!

Something I find interesting about Sam is he manages two sports bars.

I loved The Dark Tower series. I read them all back to back! I was so sad when the series ended.

I would like to see how Groucho Marx helps him.

I would like to read this book because it sounds uplifting and has some meaning to it. Plus I would love to read some of his books. He sounds like a very good writer. Please enter me in contest. Tore923@aol.com
This unique book would be memorable and special. elliotbencan(at)hotmail(dot)com
His writing ability, business acumen are real talent. elliotbencan(at)hotmail(dot)com
I read A Lonely Death which was a great mystery. elliotbencan(at)hotmail(dot)com
The Book of Eli sounds compelling and would be unforgettable. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
I would like to read No Mad. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
the Hanging tree was a thriller which was well written. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
I think Eli sounds like a great character with a great premise.
JHolden955(at)gmail(dot)com
Oh my Bingo, that was back in 8/09! I think No Mad looks great, he (Aaron) certainly hits the high points of a road trip by going to Roswell and Niagara Falls!
JHolden955(at)gmail(dot)com
I think that it's interesting that Sam manages two sports bars! I'm sure he hears all kinds of story ideas around there.
JHolden955(at)gmail(dot)com
Trespasser by Paul Doiron was great. It is the second Mike Bowditch book, he's a Maine game warden. Super reads!
JHolden955(at)gmail(dot)com
This sounds very interesting. I do like zany characters.

He seems like quite a character himself. And he lives in the perfect place for a baseball fan...Youngstown, Ohio.
lkish77123 at gmail dot com
I haven't been reading too many mystery/thrillers lately. Would you consider Cross a mystery? That's probably the closest I have come for a while.
lkish77123 at gmail dot com
You are too funny. Okay, is jinx the game we all remember or something else? Do we need to read the book to find out? I like that Sam likes to be described as quirky. From the descriptions of his books, it seems to fit.
