ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: The Baggage Handler
 

Author: David Rawlings
 

Publisher: Thomas Nelson
 

Genre: Magical Realism / Christian Allegory Fiction 

Release Date: March 5, 2019

In a similar vein to The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews or Dinner with a Perfect Stranger by David Gregory, The Baggage Handler is a contemporary story that explores one question: What baggage are you carrying?



When three people take the wrong suitcase from baggage claim, their lives change forever.



A hothead businessman coming to the city for a showdown meeting to save his job.



A mother of three hoping to survive the days at her sister's house before her niece’s wedding.



And a young artist pursuing his father’s dream so he can keep his own alive.



When David, Gillian, and Michael each take the wrong suitcase from baggage claim, the airline directs them to retrieve their bags at a mysterious facility in a deserted part of the city. There they meet the enigmatic Baggage Handler, who shows them there is more in their baggage than what they have packed, and carrying it with them is slowing them down in ways they can’t imagine. And they must deal with it before they can leave.



In this modern-day parable about the burdens that weigh us down, David Rawlings issues an inspiring invitation to lighten the load.

My thoughts: This is an excellent parable that really gets the reader thinking! An excellent read with interesting characters, this book drew me in from the beginning and got me thinking about the baggage that is slowing me down.
I received this book from Just Read. This is my honest review and is in no way influenced by receiving a complimentary copy.
