The idea is great and the topic is also actual nowadays. I had doubts about the aim and the structure. Is the aim to introduce the Bible for those who don't know it or is it a self-help book for those who have difficulties in life and need to belive in something? I felt that has been mixed a little bit while reading the book. Otherwise it is an interesting book. I would recommend for not religious people as well.

I like the idea that the Bible is a wealth of information on what we need to do in life to be successful. It just reinforces what I knew. Thanks for the insightful review.

Latest Review: The Diary That Will Change Your Lives Forever by Georgios Zelelidis

It's not quite common to see a book discuss both the practical and theological aspects of the Bible, books usually discuss either one or the other – this makes it pretty insightful, I think! Thanks for the review.

The Bible has so much wisdom and guidance to offer for every aspect of life - it is just sometimes hard to extract the relevant information. It seems the author has done this very well for the reader and has made scripture easier to understand for the layman. I like that both her secular views of the Bible as well as her Christian views are expressed. This sounds like a great read. Thanks for the thorough review!

It seems like a practical and informative book. I think I will enjoy it, I like the author's idea of convincing people that they must read the bible, I was on my way for planning how I can read the Bible daily so I will pick this book. Who knows may be this novel will be more helpful. Thanks to The reviewer and BOTD! Congratulations to the author!

I totally agree that is The Book You Need to Read. Using psalms and readings from the Bible to explain todays world makes this a wonderful self-help book. Losing faith is not uncommon and only having faith when things are going well is not really faith. I highly recommend this book. The free sample has motivated me to read the entire book.

Not having read the book I don’t know if I’d agree with all that the author says in it, but I do agree that the Bible is the greatest book out there!
Jesus is definitely my Hero!
I like the author’s style.
Thanks for the review.
