Being a non-Christian I found the verses very informative and it helped me connect them to my religion. The verses were used very beautifully and in the context of the chapter. I thoroughly enjoyed learning that.

This is another beautiful thing about the book. Many Christians today don't refer to their Bible for solutions anymore. We use our head rather than his Words. The bible has a solution to every challenge as exemplified in this awesome book

The Bible verses and prayers at the end of every section helps the reader to have a stronger connection with God.

Wow, that is really beautiful. Glad you enjoy it!! I am curious about what do you think about the book? Did the fact that is Christian inspired book affect your reading or were you curious to read it?

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."

To me this means simply to do good to others. Be selfless.

Interesting to discover that the author included scriptural verses at the end of each chapter.
What a strengthening strategy.

Yes!!thank God you observe this fact.I notice this as well; whenever I was going through this book (grace revealed)I feel something different. I can spend hours studying the book and also going through the bible verses in the book but can't even spend one hour reading other novels.Am very Happy with this experience, before now I hardly read my bible. But now,am getting familiar with my bible for me I think it's a testimony for my spiritual growth.

Great is his faithfulness: his mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentations 3:23
I like to remind myself that every day is an opportunity to start over. Once I wake up, I remind myself that the blessing began with that first acknowledgement of the new day. I like this quote because of that.

I like this verse too, especially now that we are undergoing a pandemic crisis, it's like God is reminding us that we should be strong and courageous. This too shall pass.

I liked all the verses in the book at the end of each chapter. One verse I really connected with and liked is;

Psalm 34:18

The lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

This verse gives me courage to overcome any problem I have knowing that the lord is with me. Whenever I am feeling low or upset, I remember this and it sort of comforts me and helps me get through that.

I find this to be very uplifting; when we are feeling lost in life , it is comforting knowing that we are not alone.

I love the idea that no matter how broken we are, we aren't judged. But the verse says God is closer to such people. The very idea that an almighty God cares enough about us is a source of great comfort.

The end of the verse where God tells us he will never leave us nor forsake is basically what is helping me through this pandemic. He hasn't left us but is with us in the thick of it.

I love this one too. It is a verse that gave me strength in this and times before. It is timely for all the current world's challenges.

Thank you for sharing. I will "steal" this one for my mornings too. I love the continuation of it too.

I really like the way the writer explains revelations of the Bible that are so had to grasp the meaning. I like Ephesians 2:8_9
