The Gate
The Gate: A Novel | Dann A. Stouten
1 post | 1 read
When an ad for a vacation cottage catches the eye of a man on the edge of burnout, he impulsively sets off to visit the property while his wife and daughters are away. When he arrives and is ushered through the gate, he finds something far different from the typical vacation retreat. In fact, it seems he may have found the back door to heaven. The proprietor and people from his past welcome him with food, rest, and conversation until what started out as a little escape from everyday life turns into an experience he will never forget. This imaginative novel explores the big questions we all have about what lies beyond this earthly life. Readers hungry for a taste of heaven will find in The Gate hope, encouragement, and pure joy.

#11 Of #14Books14Weeks2021 . I love reading and supporting local authors and was happy to do so with this book. My review is mixed, my thoughts conflicted. I want to love everything written by local authors, by those I've met & respect. I enjoyed the individual chapters, the reunions if you will, in this book. I thought the overall message was meaningful. But somehow, the book lacked a cohesiveness for me. Why (cont in comments)

TheHeartlandBookFairy was Sky experiencing burnout? What brought him to that point? And at the end of the story, how was he going to use the lessons that he learned to move forward. How is he going to implement changes and what was he expecting from them? Both interesting and yet a bit predictable. This book has the potential to be incredibly inspirational but somehow falls slightly short of that for me.
A decent enough 1st book for this author, (cont) 3y
TheHeartlandBookFairy
A decent enough 1st book for this author author, perhaps a double but not a home run. I'll definitely pursue his next book as I often find it interesting to see how an author grows in grows into their writing. 3y
