My Grandma's sister gave this book to me
Last Christmas and it took me months before I started reading it. It was also the time when I'm starting to look for direction in my life. Did it help? I guess. It's one of the inspirational books that you have to read again so that you can remember the lessons it provides.

I don't usually read book like this. It was my godfather's Christmas gift. He said Gogna is his favorite author so I give it a whirl.
It is a fun read, surprisingly. I like the humor of the author. I wish I had a chance to be his student. The book is a reminder of Ten Commandments and it explains it more as it breaks down bit by bit. I also like the drawings, it is not that skillfully drawn but it gives a great impact to me. The jokes are witty and funny but I think some of it are little judgmental in terms of some people who are atheist. Well, of course, it is a book for Christians.
I learned some things that I didn't know or realize. Take time to read this. And like he says, laugh your way to heaven.

A book that made me think of my ways and practices and even more assess the way I live my life in accordance with God’s rules while enjoying a good laughter from Bro. Arun’s humor.

Quite a joke-y book, gives good tips on how to be fulfilled with God's love. Aside from the sometimes fun jokes, not too memorable.
