Master did not mince words words when speaking about his conversion to Christianity in Texas, and his love for Christ afterwards. Thant said, do you think the book is best suited for Christian readers, or it’s readership should not be based on religion. Thoughts?

"The Master's candid description of his conversion to Christianity in Texas and his subsequent love for Christ may lead some to believe that the book is primarily intended for Christian readers. However, it is important to consider that a book's readership should not be exclusively determined by religion.
While the theme of Christianity may hold significant relevance and resonance for Christian readers, the book can still offer valuable insights and perspectives to readers of diverse backgrounds and beliefs. The Master's personal journey and his exploration of faith can serve as a catalyst for introspection, regardless of one's religious affiliation.
The themes of personal transformation, spiritual growth, and the search for meaning are universal, transcending specific religious contexts. By delving into broader human experiences, the book has the potential to resonate with readers who are interested in exploring themes of identity, purpose, and the complexities of faith.
Furthermore, a work of literature can provide an opportunity for readers to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for different perspectives, cultures, and belief systems. Even readers who do not share the same religious convictions as the author can engage with the book in a meaningful way, learning about the Master's journey and the impact of his faith on his life.
In summary, while the book may particularly resonate with Christian readers due to its exploration of faith and love for Christ, it should not be limited solely to that readership. Its themes and insights can be relevant and thought-provoking for individuals from diverse religious and non-religious backgrounds who are open to exploring the complexities of personal transformation, spirituality, and the search for meaning."

I think religious limitations does not apply here. The book was a bit of everything so it would suit all religions at best.

While the book might hold specific interest for Christian readers due to the author's religious background and experiences, its themes and narrative should not limit its audience. Readers of various faiths, as well as those interested in immigration, self-discovery, and the American Dream, can find value and meaning within its pages.

Religion was a segment in the book and not the main plot. His conversion to Christianity was a part of his journey, so there's more to the installment. The book is suitable for anyone outside Christianity.

I agree. Though it holds significant value. there is so much to the book than just religion. Non-Christians should read it as well.

I think that this book is certainly suitable for all religious backgrounds. Ali found himself exposed to the prevailing Christian culture having immigrated from his Muslim background in Pakistan, and succeeded in adapting to his new life in the USA. This book is an amazing lesson for people of any religious background who face the challenge of living in a country with a different prevailing culture and religion. Even Christians living in a country of a different Christian confession will find this book very relatable - I easily related it to my life as an Anglican in the predominantly Greek Orthodox culture of Cyprus - one example is the sign of the cross, as I noticed some Greek Orthodox people frowning on my crossing left to right and with the left hand and never kissing icons when on a tour at Greek Orthodox churches. It is, of course, a more drastic contrast for completely different religions.

The story is not just about religion, it is about understanding the perspective of the other person, particularly the perspective of the immigrant. Readers from all religions or non-religion can enjoy this book.
