Do you think the title is suitable for the book?

It seems as though reading that title may not attract some of the readers attention just because the title itself is portrayed in a unique way, but I can see what the title was going for. It's just not completely there yet.

I haven't read it yet but i think the first interpretation is more accurate.

[lucia_kizas]

When I first read the title, I was sure the book was going to be about Christianity, as it is basically the quote from the Old Testament.
To be honest, I didn't like it. To me, it seems like the author was already implying that only those who follow Christianity are worthy to be chosen. I haven't read the book, though, so I cannot tell if this is what it actually says, but this is the impression the title gives me.

Without getting into politics . . . the title reminds me of "Let's Make America Great Again"

[Sharon Myles]

I think the title suitably suits the book, being about old testament and this are some words that God told Abraham. I think it's a good choice it goes with the theme of the book.

I don't think the title fits. At first glance, it seems to be a history book that going to tell readers how the nation came to be what it is today.

It's taken from God's promise to Abraham for spreading his faith in a strange land. I think it's quite appropriate since it all comes down to worshiping God and obeying God's will.

I don't think the title is 'unsuitable' however I don't think it adds anything to the book or put it in the most interesting light. I think perhaps it dulls the book down a little and a more lively or bold title may give the book more of that 'epic' quality.

This is my take on it as well. It's not unsuitable to give a quote from the Bible as title to a religiously themed book, but it often seems to be the case that a grand title raises expectations in a way that makes the rest of the book seem like a bit of a letdown.

Based on the content in the book, I think the title well fits the book.

[Ruba Abu Ali]

I didn't realize the book was about teachings from the Old Testament until I read the description.

[Florence Nalianya]

I feel the title is OK for I couldn't five it any better anyway.

[Ngozi Onyibor]

The title is a bit misleading as it doesn't convey the intent of the book well. I agree the book could use a better title.

[María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda]

I think you make an important point. On the one hand, it can make it can raise controversy, and we need less religious conflict, not more. And on the other, a more reader-friendly title that showcased what the book is about could attract a broader audience.

[amjohnson13mommy]

I agree, the second version is worrisome. And the title could have been better thought out but I have no thoughts for a better one.
Any suggestions?

I liked the title. In fact, it was the title that captured my attention and increased my interest in this book and discussion.
