I have to admit I read it--in fact, I read the whole book in one sitting. It certainly would have an emotional tug on people who are looking for that kind of comfort (essentially, a saccharine explanation of "why does God let bad things happen to good people"), but in addition to a totally fanciful portrayal of the Trinity (putting it charitably) it expresses a form of salvation that borders on universalism.

What I can't understand is that the book has been endorsed by people you think would know better.
