Thanks for the great review! I have read this book and also did a review on it and I agree with your review 100%! I found all of the quotes to be a little overwhelming to read as they were not broken up by spaces between and I really wish they were grouped by topic in separate chapters. I found many quotes I could apply to my life also. And I whole-heartedly agree about the lack of editing. I hope the author will have the book professionally edited as it is a wonderful story he has and the quotes are great. I believe the sale of the book would be tremendously increased with the proper editing! I loved your review.

I agree, it does help very much to have a deeper understanding of an author when reading something like quotes. This sounds like a very inspiring read that you described quite well.

The concept of this book sounds quite interesting. It would, however appeal to more readers if it was professionally edited. Thank you for the great review!

It sounds like a good book to add little inspiration to lives. Too bad about the editing though. Thanks for the honest review.

What a thoughtful review! How Christian-centric did you find this collection to be? Might it appeal to those who are non-denominationally spiritual/meditative? I would imagine this would be a useful tool for someone compiling a commonplace book.

Is it me or does this sound a bit like a book of Christian fortune cookies?
Not to mention that the lack of professional editing is a big turn off for me.
I think I'll pass.
Great review though, very helpful.

I'm very happy to hear that this book could target huge masses. I hope it gets proofread and corrected, it could help the author a lot!

This type of book sounds like a great way for someone (like me) to be more able to meditate themselves, making progress in life by quieting the distractions of life. And I do agree grammatical errors can be annoying if it is prominent throughout. Thank you for the review.
