I am not believing in any religion or god, but I am open to believe there might be more to the universe than our current science can tell.
It didn't really change my mind, but it was nice to see the POV of believer. I could see how believing can really give you strength. How you can feel like there is something you can do to help (pray) where atheist feels completely helpless. But I would call it miracle of how much human brain can recover thanks to its plasticity not thanks to God.

I am a believer. Though I have gone through periods of doubt. Now I am firm in my belief. I feel books like this help reinforce one's belief.

Our daily little needs coupled with the problems we face in life often cloud our sight of God. I believe miracles happen everyday (duh, I'm alive and healthy) and we are by the grace of God, but I often forget this. So, I appreciate such books that remind me how awesome God is.

I've always believed God having tested and seen how great he is, but after reading this book, my faith was greatly challenged.

I believe a book can influence a person only if the person's beliefs aren't set in stone. If it has still managed to get the person to change their mind, then the author has done a fantabulous job (if it was the goal).

I strongly believe words are powerful enough to change a man's mind. Everyone that was converted out there first heard the word. I'm not a unbelievable but this book still opened my eyes to a certain extent. But my beliefs will forever remain on the only true God.

The Christian race is all about faith and trust in God. What if is an important question. But I trust God wholeheartedly

I have been always a believer. I don't think that the book had a real effect on my beliefs, but it is touchin and I hope it would make non-believers think more about faith.

What if? Is a question I ask myself on a daily basis. Today, I believe and tomorrow, it seems like I don't. This book helped reassure me of my faith, but I cannot tell if this will remain stable.

As an irreligious person, the questions are not genuine to me enough. Not enough claims to convince me.

I am a believer but I hope that non-believers who read this book wonder if it's true that there is a true God.

I was an agnostic going in and I remain an agnostic coming out. I was not very impressed to be honest. Good job to the author though.

This book is fascinating for sure. I am not sure if it is enough to inspire unbelievers to change their stance but I know it can inspire anyone to learn how to love properly.

It takes a long time and hard decisions to choose a belief and stick to it especially when it’s all based on faith and not really physical. I believe that everything happens for a reason and Gods decisions in our lives will always be a mystery this book reinforced my beliefs

I've always been mired in hypothetical scenarios.
My family and I are Catholic, and even law school was held at a Catholic university.
Books like this temporarily make me feel like I should accept what I believe and return to my family's faith, but I also question... Why?
