I’m not a huge non-fiction reader and I have the track record to prove it. I’ve read few non-fiction books and all of them have taken weeks if not months to finish. But this book took me less than 2 weeks to finish.
It is such a fascinating read especially if you already enjoy studying the Bible and are looking for some more constructive ways to do so. I am so in by this book that as soon as I’m finished writing this book I plan to try one of the suggested methods out.
