Same with me! I thought this was an autobiography or something similar. However, the title doesn't seem out of place for a book dealing with the Old Testament either.eastandalchemy wrote: ↑01 Aug 2019, 10:53 When I first read the title, without having an inkling what this book was about, I thought of social studies class. I didn't realize this book was covering a religious topic until I read the description.

The same idea crossed my mind when I first saw the title. It was impossible for me to make a good guess at what is it going to be about.

I agree with this... especially the second aspect. It's too inclusive. Christianity/belief in god is not the only way to make a nation great!ArriettyClock wrote: ↑01 Aug 2019, 09:47 I found the title an odd choice, seeing as the book is about promoting the teachings of the Old Testament in a new and modern way.
The title could be seen in two ways - firstly that by understanding the teachings in the book that people would make society better generally and hence create a great nation. However, it could also mean that only those undertaking the teachings of the Old Testament are able to create a great nation. This second version is a worrying thought, especially in current societies where religious conflict is still ripe in many countries.
This suggests to me that the title should have been thought over more and replaced with a more suitable title.
Do you think this title is suitable for the book?
