The Baggage Handler was certainly an interesting read with the Baggage Handler. As the author states, we all have baggage we carry around every day. This story focuses on gaining freedom from your baggage. With the Baggage Handler being a symbol of Jesus, the meaning is clear. The story made me think. It made me contemplate what I need to hand to Jesus. A book like this can't be ignored. Try as hard as you might, but this story will stick with you. That is what all stories should do and this one nailed it on the head.
The writing style is relatable and understandable. With smooth transitions and an engaging tone, this supports the plot.
I suppose you want to hear about the plot. In all honesty, it had some surprises that I saw coming and others that I did not see.
I would recommend this novel to those who know they have baggage to sort out and those who don't think they have any - because you do. (sorry if i burst your bubble)

Thank you LibraryThing for allowing me to read this book. However, it’s one of the strangest stories I’ve ever read and I did not care for it. It’s the story of 4 college friends who have a reunion 15 years after college. Memories reveal a lot to be dealt with and how that is done is on the unbelievable side. I do not recommend this book.

This was the perfect book to read heading into the New Year. No better time to think about what baggage you can get rid of.

I really enjoyed this little book. it's an allegory, but it is so much more. In it we meet three people, each battling their own demons. I challenge those who read this book to find someone or even themselves in this book. How much baggage do each of us carry around? How does it limit our our options? How does it adversely affect our lives and our health? I really can't say I loved the three people's stories. I can't say that i found myself in one of these three people, but I can say that it made me realize that I had baggage of my own. Is it going to change my life? I don't know, but self awareness is worth something. I think we all need a baggage handler to help us through this life of toil and trouble. I highly recommend this book. And I have my own copy which makes it so much more special. I intend to share it with anyone who asks.… (plus d'informations)
