After seeing the cover of the book and reading the synopsis, I was excited to read this book. Unfortunately, the first 3 or 4 pages and the last 2 or 3 were really Sci Fi.
This book is more of a drama in my opinion. Joseph is in a place called the facility and cannot go beyond certain boundaries without consequences.
One day he notices a device in his room that communicates with him. This device wants Joseph to tell him his life story. Joseph names the device Machine. They interact daily as Joseph tells his life story to Machine.
I did enjoy reading Joseph's story except for the fact that the whole story was told to me so I didn't feel a part of the book. Even when Joseph wants a break the book says, Joseph went outside. Joseph did this or that. I wish at least in these parts Joseph could have said, I needed a break, or I needed to go pray before I could continue. It would have made the book a bit more personal to me. I do understand the way the rest of the book was written as Joseph was telling his story to Machine.
The writing improved a lot as I continued to read. It was a bit wordy and I could have skipped a few pages here and there without missing much.
The book told us Joseph's story and his relationship with the Lord throughout his life. It was an interesting read. I did enjoy the book and think others will also.
I received a complimentary copy from the Publisher via NetGalley for my honest opinion.

Joseph is being held in the Facility, a place where he has little freedom, and even less information about. After the Machine shows up and Joseph learns that it is there to record his story, he shares the highs and lows of his life and faith.

As Joseph goes through his life, he discovers times that God provided and directed, more so than he though at the time. Through pain, sorrow, and joy, God was there for Joseph. The sharing of his story can serve as an illustration for all people, though Christians are more likely to understand it as God’s hand in their lives.

I found several parts of the story interesting, and the concept of of the book was intriguing. As a personal preference, I would have liked it to have chapters. I don’t tend to read books straight through, and I use chapters to track my progress. This isn’t a big deal, but something that did stick out as I read the book.
