Ratings and reviews

The book was really great. It took me 3 month to finish it, but that's because every so often you need to stop and digest what you are reading and actually applying it to your life. I am a Coptic Orthodox Christian and I have learned a lot from it. Yet like any book it is not perfect. The book is very general and tries to attract people from all walks of life which makes it a bit elongated than it should be. But it was definitely worthwhile!

James Martin seems like a modern day person who embodies a lowly tone in his writing. As a protestant Christian, I have a certain way of seeing the world shaped by my own beliefs, and beliefs of others. This book challenged me to treat God as someone who is more approachable than a close friend. I am not literate and I've managed to fumble my way to the 10th chapter (80% through the book). This book has changed how I pray, meditate, and read the bible. I highly recommend this to you if you curious about the Jesuits or are in transition between your parent's and your own faith.

This book was mind control by illuminati. the truth can judge who follow quran and other holy books
