Query: Lay off the preaching

I grabbed this book in the library, as it sounded like a good "take it on vacation" read. And the first 1/4 of the book was. But by the halfway point, I was so turned off by the heavy proselytizing that it was tough to finish. I have no problem with books of all POV, but I don't like to be preached to. There were multiple scenes where the characters engaged in heavy Christ-oriented prayer sessions, that had nothing to do with the plot. If it advances the storyline, great. But these passages appeared to be inserted simply for the sake of evangelical prayer.This book gets a two-star (instead of one) because the story was ok, but geez (pun intended), ease up Joel. You seem like a decent writer, but this book will put you on my "pass" list.
