The author's story sounds incredible, but I think the religious part might be too much for me, I tend not to like books like this. Still, I really enjoyed your insightful review, thanks!

While the author is religious, I was glad to find that he wasn't the type to shove it in the reader's face or actively try to convert the reader. Thank you for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it!
