My Review:
This is a book to read when you are making your confirmation, or any time that you want to connect with God. There are a lot of different things that the author talks about, but the book is easily read and does not dragged on. I liked that this book started in Genesis. The author also included Revelations and it was nice to have Revelations explained and discussed. It was interesting that the Revelations were discussed out of numerical order, and it was easier to read about them. The author was a former hostage and he definitely knows a lot about faith. I agree that we need to drink from the cup of God, and a lot of people are unsure where to find it. The talk of God "restoring" his rightful people made me feel as though the world was going to end. I would have liked a more positive way of the author stating " Your world will be changed in unprecedented ways." It seemed that a lot of humanity will be doomed. However the author does a great job of talking about the Bible in his own way that made this book an easy read for me. I am giving this book a 3/5. I was given a copy to review from Life Sentence Publishing, however all opinions are my own.
