Fantastic question. I hadn't really considered this, and, though reading this book did not stir any questions about my faith, or better put, my lack of it, I do wonder if other readers might have had a different experience with it. Thank you for bringing this up.

However, because I was exposed to faith all my life having religious relatives, and generally speaking having religious communities around me. I'm an atheist not because of lack of exposure, so it was an inspiring story but it didn't change my views on belief in god.
Very well put. I agree with this opinion entirely. Coming from a religious background as well, it is also very unlikely that any sort of book or media will change my perspective on faith, and the world, regardless of how inspiring the work may be.

Latest Review: Zona: The Forbidden Land by Fred G. Baker

Post by Chinasa Deborah »

After reading this book, I was inspired and forced to consider this crucial question: "What if?"
I have witnessed miracles through my faith, and reading this book or coming across it has strengthened me to remain unshaken no matter what the situation.

I will comment from the standpoint of a believer. “what if?” can be the most dangerous phrase to gamble. What if I get a miracle? What if I don’t? You should believe it and give it a try. It is the only way to please the God of miracles (The Almighty God). God does not fail. It is our unbelief that stands in the way of miracles. For without faith, it is impossible to please God. I hope this book has changed a lot of mindsets and won souls for God.

I believe in God and I do believe that miracles can happen. Reading books like this only does well to strengthen my faith and belief in God. That is one thing that shouldn't be questioned

I have always been forced by my parents to accept faith. With teenage years, I started disliking but now after becoming adult, I actually only disliked the forced part and did have my own faith even though it was little.

I can't quite relate as I have always been a believer from day one. However, this should definitely trigger inquisitiveness in non believers at least to a point where they have an open mind and start listening to what I know is true.

I do not know what name can be attached to my belief (I do not believe in any deity, but I think that all should be respected (as long as they do things worthy of respect)). This book has not changed my mind/belief in any way. But it inspired me to never lose hope or faith that things could turn around for the best/worst (lol (however way you choose to look at it))

I really hope people were very inspired by this book, l: none delivers and believers alike. This book is a gem. There is so much that can be taken home from the plot. The kinds of character traits that it promotes can be useful for all of humanity.

To me, that doesn't sound hokey at all. I am a firm believer myself. I see God's hand in my life everyday. I constantly prayer that an event that will make me leave my faith never comes to me.

I am also a believer. I have witnessed a lot of miracles and read many of them. My faith is deeply rooted in God no matter what is happening. I just ask God to help me remain faithful.

I am a believer and this book helped strengthen my faith in God the more. I also believe that non-believers who comes across this book would be affected positively by this book.

I am a christian and the words of the author is soothing. I have also been surrounded by a lot of what-ifs. Anyhow, it takes a leap of faith.
