I definitely would like to emphasize how you mention that the quotes are thought-provoking as I do not follow Christianity, however, the quotes still connect with me and offer opportunities of reflection. Also, as you mentioned that the unique way Jeremy Brown formatted the book really also makes it simple for a reader to know exactly where they stopped reading given that the quotes are numbered. I definitely noticed the grammatical errors however I was also able to look past them but can understand that others may not be able to. Therefore it makes sense that you gave 3 stars rather than 4. Hopefully, the editing will be sorted out by the author!

The quotes themselves are unique and offer insight on many topics. Collectively they are all thought-provoking, but of course the significance of an individual quote would vary based upon the reader. I personally found many of them to be relevant to my life, and I am certain that most readers would be able to pick out a handful of sayings that are personally meaningful


A collection of unique, inspirational quotes that will appeal to fans of non-fiction books! I am not the target audience, so I will pass on this one. It is a pity about the grammatical errors, but I am glad you enjoyed it anyway! Thank you for the detailed review!

I found many of the author's quotes in the sample to be quite insightful. I like how you say that the significance of each quote will vary depending on the reader. Every person who is reading the quotes will be coming from a different place, mentally and spiritually, and so different things will speak to different people. This book sounds like it would be an interesting read. Thank you for your review!

The book seems to be somewhat intriguing, however personally, with the amount of errors implied, it will be flooded with dissatisfactions rather than satisfaction.

This review accurately covers the book content. The beginning of the book, with the explanation of the author's journey toward writing his books including this one, is really out there. A little over the top. But the quotes - ostensibly the Words of God - are good. The reviewer does a good job of accurately describing how the book works and takes it all seriously.

It sounds like this author has tapped into a time of instruction and is sharing it with his readers. Too bad about the grammatical issues because that takes away from the validity of the writing for me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.

This sounds like a book that will appeal to many readers. I am not interested in reading it at the moment. I find the spiritual content to be interesting, but the lack of editing turns me off. I also don't care for the lack of chapters.

Inspirational quotes from a Christian perspective sounds like a good one to read in bits everyday for reflection turning into inspiration. I like that Brown shared, in the beginning of the book, his brief personal story for why and how he wrote these quotes. Thank you for the informative review!

A Christian book that is filled with inspirational quotes, a must read for me. A great work from the author and for being receptive to the revelation when they come. Great review!

This would be an inspiring book for everyone. It's more like a book you can refer to when you're lost or looking for a boost or some inspiration. Great review.
