I hope that the author will consider having the book undergo another round of editing and the formatting of its content. I am more interested about the biographical part and look forward to seeing how the author's life experiences eventually led him down this path of faith. The fact that he is brutally honest about his flaws is amazing.
Many thanks for the balanced review. :tiphat: :tiphat: :tiphat:

A unique and unorthodox approach to exploring Christianity. With further refinement, this memoir has the potential to resonate with readers seeking a genuine and personal perspective on faith.

As a Christian, I am fascinated by how this book will reveal new ideas, insights, and news about Christianity. I like how the author approached the subject in a more simplistic way so that the knowledge contained in this book can still reach audiences with average literary skills.

Thank you for your honest review. While spiritual and faith books have their appeal, it does make sense to edit the books and have clarity and flow. the subject is indeed intriguing, and I wish the author follows the above stated advice.

Well to an extent I feel this book will be a captivating one though it has its flaws as the reviewer said. Christian novels like this one, has a way of inspiring one towards a positive end. I will look forward to the well edited version and enjoy the read. Thanks anyway.

I’m not a Christian, but I can see how this book would be highly beneficial for a believer who wants to learn more about Christianity in a much easier way than the classic one. It’s sad that there are many editing flaws, such a missed opportunity, but thanks for highlighting that in your review!
