Good Omens is more about angels and devils than Gods, but well worth 
reading. And puzzling predictions do play a role.

I think that as a Dutchman I have at this point to point out Harry 
Mulisch's Discovery of heaven, even though I did not read it 
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/Discovery-Heaven-Harry-Mulisch/dp/0140272380/) 
nor saw the movie 
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/Discovery-Heaven-DVD-Stephen-Fry/dp/B001F6Q386).
