This book seemingly does not challenge one's faith, but encourages it. So if someone is looking for a challenge, please pass on this oneLorpanor wrote: ↑29 May 2020, 14:24 I am a religious person, but I found the message to be boring after a while. I think I was expecting something that would challenge my faith. I did find the stories encouraging. I think I agree with others that it is about your perception with this book and what experiences you have gone through

You don't have to be religious to read about hardships of people and learn from them. But if you are religious and faithful, your perception will be differentFree-man wrote: ↑29 May 2020, 19:01 I believe it is okay for people to be a non believer, yet read this book. But that I do believe is that. This book is suppose to get you connected to to it's spirutual direction. This is because, it is well packed with lots of powerful words that should drive ones mind and heart to God. My own opinion.

The author's idea of writing this book seems like to strengthen the faith in people. So to fulfill that, you have to be somewhat religious and spiritualAntonelaMaria wrote: ↑30 May 2020, 05:07So do you think one should have somewhat spirituality if not a religion to "get" this book?Free-man wrote: ↑29 May 2020, 19:01 I believe it is okay for people to be a non believer, yet read this book.

Laws being based on the Bible can be true to your society, but I don't think it is so for the majority, because law and order is far more ancient than any religious scripture. It might have acquired a thing or two from the BibleKirsi_78 wrote: ↑30 May 2020, 06:44 I have been somewhat religious quite many years so I have absolutely no idea what it feels like to read this book for someone who's not religious. It would be interesting to hear how it was, once you're done with the reading! Anyway, quite many of the laws and rules of our society come from the Bible and christian faith. Also the idea of what is good and what is bad in humans is more or less based on the Bible. This being said, I believe there are aspects in this book that also give great value to a person who is not religious. Naturally I might also be wrong with my reasoning... If you read the book, please do tell how it was!

I think anyone can understand what the author has stated. But the difference is in the way that each one perceives the idea. It can be different from a religious to a non-religiousAntonelaMaria wrote: ↑31 May 2020, 03:00I think that too some or most part can be easy understood by every reader.

If it is put in that way, there won't be much for a non-religious to gain from the book. But if one can understand that what matters at last is persistence, then it doesn't matter whether you are religious or notespo wrote: ↑31 May 2020, 13:10 I am religious, so I might not be the best person to tell you about that. It depends on your personality and what you look for. If you read the book actively searching for lessons to implement into your own life, I am afraid that you won't find much in there that is not purely religious, e.g. to trust in God, pray, and learn from your struggles to surrender yourself to his grace. But if you read it with an open mind and an interest to learn from other people's stories, I think you will enjoy it. I like to read testimonies and books about/by people who identify in other religions too, but again, that all depends on you. Nothing wrong with a lack of interest in it!

A non-religious one can keep the bible verses aside, if they are not in the best interest of the reader, and try to understand the deep truth of the given testimonies. It is being strong and persistent in whatever the challenge which is thrown to you

Hardships of fellow men always leave something for us to learn. That is the use of this book for a non-religious readerJulyet_Chris wrote: ↑31 May 2020, 14:41 I’m not a very religious person and not very conversant with my bible but this book can also be helpful to people like me too because the book is packed with very helpful information and even though the book stirs more towards the spiritual areas of life,The book can still be enjoyed by non-believers.

One can read this with a curious mind and try to get some points regarding Christianity. But that will lead him/her to further questions and may need further reading, since this is not a complete version of the BibleAntonelaMaria wrote: ↑31 May 2020, 17:41You said it really well. Oh, and btw I like to read about other religions too. Bet than again I am very curious. So if they are curious about it too I don't see what not to read it.espo wrote: ↑31 May 2020, 13:10 I am religious, so I might not be the best person to tell you about that.

Still, each person should try to see if they like the type of book since it's a very personal thing.
I think this is a really excellent point. Being spiritual also doesn't have to connect with being religious. Sometimes it's good just to take some time to breathe and get in better touch with yourself. It's also always a good idea to see other people's experiences and get a different perspective.
