[MMcB]

An excellent review of *Enlightenment for the Things that Really Matter* by Mark Gumbrell tells us that the author has included historical and philosophical reflections in his story. There is a lot of empathy and showing how love, fairness and kindness makes our world a better place. I hope many, many people read this book and learn from it. I realize that some people could benefit greatly and I hope they find this book.

Definitely not my cup of tea on so many levels that I don't know where to start, but I believe the most important thing is my disagreement with the whole concept of it. I don't mean the example regarding abandoned children needing care and love. It is probably one thing no one can dispute is the most honorable and decent deed to provide them a home and support in life.

"Enlightenment for the things that really matter" focuses on religious and historical stories. Also, it says to show kindness and empathy to everyone who has feelings. I feel it is very true. I really resonate with Mark Gumbrell that we really need to make "the world a better and more enjoyable place for all to live." Congratulations on BOTD!

A non-fictional book addressing the complexities of life, how we the humans focus on the things that are temporary and vain instead of focusing on gratefulness, our spiritualities. A heavy read indeed. Those who are into historical, philosophy and religions, then this book is for you. This book doesn't dwell in one religion alone thus all religions can read this.

I found myself captivated by Mark Gumbrell's adept weaving of historical, religious, and philosophical narratives into a compelling narrative about living a fulfilled life. His emphasis on empathy and kindness towards all sentient beings resonated deeply with me.

The author also advises his readers to always express gratitude and seek happiness over what they have instead of acquiring material things that are temporal on earth.

- This is good advise, the reader gets, especially if his/her parents haven't given it already, and as I like to read philosophical novels, no doubt I will read this soon. Thank you for an enlightening review.

Enlightenment for the Things that Really Matter appears to offer a deep dive into the essence of fulfillment in life. The author's exploration of kindness, empathy, and fairness, intertwined with historical and philosophical narratives, presents a compelling perspective on how we can lead more meaningful lives. While the questioning of God's existence may stir debate, the overarching message of gratitude and prioritizing happiness over material possessions resonates profoundly.

[Alissa Deann Devargas]

The author proposes an interesting theory of showing kindness to any sentient individual who has feelings. However, I'd like to understand better why they are grouped into normal and abnormal.

[Krebs Karen]

This book is a book about how to live a fulfilled life, just like the title. It opens the readers eyes on how the way to live a good life both religiously without regrets. Congrats to the author on being book of the day!

'Enlightenment For The Things That Really Matter' by Mark Gumbrell is a novel based on religious, historical and philosophical stories which the author uses to open his reader's eyes to how to live a more fulfilled life. The author subscribes to the adoption of children rather than bringing more children into a world that is ill-equipped to receive them. He's telling his readers to take care of and adopt the ones who are already crying out for a family to care for them. I believe it deserves a five-star rating from the reviewer.

[Victoria Zoe]

Mark Gumbrell's novel is indeed an enlightened book where he emphasises the wearing of empathy and kindness to our fellow humans. Making a positive impact is a way to live a fulfilling life. Congrats on the BOTD and a well-written review.

[Risper Ouma Anyango]

The review revealed something very crucial which people of the olden days believed and that's that the more children you have the more joyful and fulfilled you are. This isn't the case in the current world as many children would be burdensome since it would be financially burdensome. Congratulations on making a book of the day.
