Every book just as this one is unique and just because The Master described about his conversation to Christianity doesn't make this a Christian book. Everyone, irrespective of religion can gleam from the message here.

Latest Review: The Illusion of Superiority by Christopher Joseph

Post by Ramadevi Tatavarthi »

Even though this book is slightly inclined towards Christianity, in my opinion, it is suited to any religion because it discusses many other topics beyond religion. However, I believe this book may be triggering for some Muslims. Therefore, this book is suitable for readers from any religion who are open-minded.

Master's candid comment on his conversation to Christianity notwithstanding, I believe the book's lessons have a universal appeal and are not just limited to Christians.

I agree that everyone would benefit from reading this book. I think there is an important lesson to be learned about tolerance. The patient and respectful way that the author handled his conversion should be emulated by all.

Latest Review: American Fools Day by Anthony Kishko

Post by Dem Dem »

The book is primarily about Christianity and it should be noted that although no other religion has been harmed in any way, in this book, people may get short-sighted when it comes to religions and hence, I'd recommend this book to everyone but suggest it only to those who take a universal and free minded approach to reading it.

I am totally confused about this. Several quotations from the Bible have been depicted in this book. I also found it difficult to understand several of the Bibliographical interpretations. But as these are all part of the author's journey and struggle that's why he has mentioned them. Otherwise, the book is suitable for people of all religions.

I believe there's a lot more to the book than just the author's conversion to Christianity. Therefore, people of all religions can read the book. There is a lot to learn.
