Life of Pi by Yann MartelMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The beginning of the book bills itself as an inspiring tale that will bring you closer to God, but I found it to quite the opposite. There's a lot of ambiguity as to what happened but in the version at the end, humanity and life are revealed to brutish and cruel and the idea of God just an inspiring story. The overall impression I got is of an atheist trying to write a story about how great the idea of God is.
PS. If that's what you're looking for, I prefer The End of the Affair and Gilead for inspiring fictional books about God.
