I think I'd like to read the author's perspectives on God and why he thinks God is too simplistic, more than His complex creation. Thank you for the wonderful review.

After reading the reviews, I discovered that this book is based on historical, theological, and philosophical anecdotes that the author utilized to show his readers how to live a fulfilling life. The reviewer explicitly said in the review that there are things in life that we hold dear that are not meant to be, and I agree with this. The review is quite nicely written and detailed. I'll definitely read it. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.
