“I liked this book for it's diverend view but I didn't like it because it's trying to brainwash(I didn't get the feeling all the time when I was reading it that it was biblical or real.). this book is also very black and with. and it's a verry Ammarican book I mean with that it is very radical and extreem at some points. but It's a good book to help people with there faith.”

    “I started this books not to long ago and its already completely life changing, it alters the way you view yourself and other things. It makes you think, and it made me realize all that I take for granted. Whether you have a realtionship with God or not this book is a great starting point, or in my case something to make your relationship grow even stronger. I believe this book will "set you in the right direction." I would recommend it to everyone!”
