I often wonder why some people will have almost every good thing of life and yet be so discontented. If this book will give answers to that then I would love to read it. Kudos to the author for winning BOTD with this book.

I wonder if all these mystery questions about life the author is exploring is only those based on faith. There's lots of mystery's that can be explored in the worldly and spiritual sector. Guess I'll have to download the book and see for myself what this thought-provoking read entails.

Life is a play where we are the actors and the audience, We laugh and cry, love and hate, create and destroy,
We seek to know ourselves and others, to belong and to be free, We accept what we can and change what we must.

I'm not into religious reads, and I don't believe in absolutism, much less regarding truth. But I understand many of us feel unfulfilled and are all looking for our purpose. Religious people might find their answer in this book. Congratulations.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting spiritual self-help book designed with Christian readers in mind to assist them in seeing God in their lives and decisions. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

When I first saw this book, I wasn't interested in reading it. However, your review has changed my mind. Your description of how the author challenges and encourages the reader to consider the concept of truth from various perspectives piqued my interest. Additionally, the author's exploration of free will and the existence of suffering convinced me to give this book a read. These are questions I've wondered about, and I'm eager to hear the author's opinions on these subjects.

It looks like a wonderful book that answers some questions about religion, Christianity and general living and how to go about it. While it looks interesting, I think I will skip it for now. Thank you for your review!

Good review that clearly sets expectations of readers about the book. The chapter about truth explained in the book looks interesting. Not so lengthy book so may be it can be added into my quick-read list. Congratulations on your BOTD

I appreciate your insights. This book is ideal for those who identify as Christians. Life is full of mysteries. People remain discontent despite having everything they want. Contentment has nothing to do with achievements. I'm sure many will find the author's point of view compelling. A must read for open minded individuals seeking deeper understanding. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
