I do truly enjoy the inspirational quotes presented, and find that this book could inspire many people. It´s a shame about the editing. Great review!

While I have owned many books of quotes and sayings, I have never bought one for myself, nor do I often read them. Especially given the lack of professional editing, this is a book I'll have to pass on.

The author seems to be sharing his spiritual journey through inspiring quotes that he has written after meditation and prayer. Thanks!

This idea of writing a book of inspirational quotes is interesting. I think it will need some editorial help before I would be interested in reading it. I found even the small sample of quotes that I read to be confusing, because it was just one long list with no organization.

The quotes in "Last words from above" by Jeremy Brown are truly inspirational. That I am a Christian makes it all the way appealing. Thanks to the author for sharing!

God does not need to do as he is the knower of all things. I do like these inspirational quotes and am looking forward to eventually reading all of them. Congratulations on the book of the day.

I am not a huge fan of books relating to religion. I do believe that this book can be helpful and provide guidance for people. I could learn something from this book. I understand editorial is not great but it is something that can be ignored for the most part. Thank you for the review!!

I am not into meditation and other idle time spending activities. I prefer to use my time practically and efficiently and therefore I will have to skip this book. Congratulations with reaching BOTD, all the same!

Good review. I am interested in reading this book I just wish it was edited. I’m always looking for quotes and inspiration so I will add this to my must reads.

A book containing a collection over a thousand thought-provoking Christianity-inspired quotes seems like an interesting and educative read. The approach is quite and, I think, makes it stand among other religious books. I'm looking foward to reading the whole book. Thank you for this wonderful review!

Who doesn't need inspirational quotes? The problem I have with them is where they come from. I would have like to know more about the medication schedule.

I am in love with Last Words from Above by Jeremy Brown already just after reading the title. I love reading Christian books and the fact that this is filled with inspirational quotes makes it worthwhile. Great review!

A book of quotes doesn't really appeal to me, particularly as it seems to be riddled with errors. Think I'll give this one a miss, but thanks for your great review!

Non fiction books are not my cup of tea but I've read the review and looked through the sample and the idea of organising the book as a list of quotes is very good. It will definitely attract the reader because of its simplicity and the ability to easily find the quote you liked. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I bet the format of this book makes it a very quick read. It sounds interesting and beneficial for multiple audiences, despite being written from a Christian perspective. Great review!
