I love that Bible verses were included in this book. It reminds me of how I always use Bible verses as I go through my life's journey, especially when I'm making big decisions in life.

I am a religious person, the author has been able to use scriptural verses as reference, so the readers understand each point of the book. This makes it unique.

This technique of using famous quotes and biblical quotes at the same time, clearly helps me find the author's intended audience. And this, helps him to achieve his purpose.

I liked the bible verse and the non bible verse. It means something to any person reading it. It also meant something to the mission.

I believe they are aptly added to the book to add flair. It's nice to have a teeny break from the chapters and reflect a bit on the bible passage.
Happy reading,

I think they gave more meaning to the book and an insight to the man missions.

I feel the author has used the verses of bible smartly. That added a different taste to the adventurous theme of book.

I didn't have a problem with bible verses at the beginning of a new mission. Actually, I loved them. They spoke volumes. They were direct, short and blended perfectly with a famous quote at the beginning of a new mission. My only worry was the use of profanity as well as the use of holy scriptures.

Although I dislike religious nuances in fictions, I found the Biblical quotations mentioned at the beginning of each mission to be quite apt! The trick I've come to realise is to have a broader perspective. Rejecting something because of a single issue is harmful in the long run.

The biblical quotes were a favorite for me. I started to actually look forward to them because they gave me a clue of what was in store for the author in each part of the book.

I am not well known with the verses of bible. I noticed it after it was mentioned here. That tells a lot that the verses blended with the content well.

I am a Christian and I really loved the quotes. I guess the author should be a Christian too. The Bible quote and other quotes really spiced up this book.
