The Bible passages didn't affect how much I enjoyed the book, if anything it shed more light

I felt that the biblical reference made the book inspirational. Each biblical verse alluded to connected well with each chapters discussion.

I liked the way he started each chapter by writing a quote and those quotes go well with chapters. They somewhere give a slight idea about what's going to happen in the story.

Honestly, I liked them. The author has the liberty to write whatever he wants, so that's fine with me.

Even though I didn't find the correlation between the story and the preceding Biblical quote, I nevertheless enjoyed reading and trying to internalize the quote.

It was really nice adding Biblical passages at the beginning of new mission. Most of those quotes matches the mission.

When authors write, they sometimes try to include some personal element to it. I think that's what our author did in this case. Besides, the quotes and the Bible passages are in most cases related to the events in that particular chapter.

The biblical quotes had a way of preparing you for the growth in the chapter where it appears.
For most of the book, it stayed relevant

I wouldn't call it annoying and anything alike, because I was raised to respect other people's cultures and traditions. But since I personally am not religious, I must admit that I simply skipped them.

I am religious and I loved the author’s use of the Bible quotes. In my opinion, they set the tone for each mission along with the famous quote. It was a great addition.

I loved the way the author used a quote just before the biblical quote. Although I didn’t attribute any serious meaning to it until it was mentioned here.

Personally,I think the writer quoting Biblical passages at the beginning of every new mission seeks validity of some sort.

Like the writer was seeking to make each mission have a base line or reference point.

However,I also think it is totally unnecessary,as some audience might feel the intensity of the deviation,if any.

I couldn't agree more. I like that Bible verses were added to this book.
