Jude Meritus seems to have thoroughly researched and written this thought provoking work on Magna Carta. He shares his personal conversion experience to add to it all. You have written the review so well, i would like to read this book sometime soon. Congratulations on the BOTD!

I don't like such books speaking about the Bible, Christianity or the second coming of Jesus so I think I will pass but I think the information will be helpful to others.

What a great spiritual self-help book this is. Indeed, the church needs to wake up from sleep and slumber. The writer did well to reveal a lot of truth about the church and the scriptures. Congrats on BOTD.

The gospel of Christ must not be allowed to be subdued by anyone. Christians must arise and do the work of preaching to lost souls. I commend the writer for writing such an insightful book. Congrats on the book of the day.

Evil spirits does everything as it please now days, many of us we are silent because the Priest and our Leaders allow bad things to happen in church's and the world at large because they do anything for money, especially the black leaders. Here we can say the author was angry to see God legarcy been destroyed while christians are afraid to speak their minds.

The Magna Carta, also known as the Great Charter, is one of the most significant legal documents in history. It was signed in 1215 by King John of England and has since become a symbol of freedom, justice, and democracy.

At the time, King John was facing a rebellion by a group of powerful barons who were unhappy with his rule. To appease them, he agreed to sign the Magna Carta, which set out a number of rights and protections for the barons and their subjects.

One of the most important provisions of the Magna Carta was the idea that no one, including the king, is above the law. This principle has become a cornerstone of modern constitutional law, and it continues to influence legal systems around the world.

The Magna Carta also established the right to a fair trial by a jury of one's peers, another fundamental principle of modern democracy. It granted certain rights to women and provided protections for merchants and other non-nobles.

Over time, the Magna Carta became more than just a document for settling a specific dispute between the king and his barons. It came to represent the idea that everyone, regardless of their social status, is entitled to basic rights and protections under the law.

The Magna Carta has had a profound impact on legal and political systems around the world. Its principles were incorporated into the English Bill of Rights of 1689, which formed the basis of the American Constitution and other modern democratic systems.

In addition to its legal significance, the Magna Carta has become a symbol of political resistance and freedom. It has been invoked by political activists, social reformers, and advocates for human rights throughout history.

Despite its importance, the Magna Carta is not without controversy. Some scholars argue that it was primarily a document intended to protect the interests of the barons, rather than a true expression of democratic principles.

Others point out that many of the Magna Carta's provisions were limited in scope and did not apply to the majority of people living in medieval England, such as peasants and serfs.

Nonetheless, the Magna Carta remains a powerful symbol of democracy and justice, and its legacy continues to be felt today. In 2015, the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta was celebrated with events and exhibitions around the world.

In conclusion, the Magna Carta is an important document that has had a profound impact on legal and political systems around the world. Its principles of equality under the law, the right to a fair trial, and the protection of basic rights and freedoms continue to shape modern democracy and inspire people everywhere to fight for justice and freedom.

I like how the author does not impose his views on his readers.

Thank you for the great review.

Thank you for your review. The book is big on religion especially christianity, and therefore it does not interest my entirely but what I am intrigued about is how God is viewed. Also, I like how the author does not make the reader care for religion if they are not religious as you see that a lot in books that contain a lot of religious views.
