As You Read

For those of you that are interested in reading the book, here are a few pointers.

The book is an easy read. It flows smoothly as there are stories and illustrations from my life or the life of people I know. This should help you move along, especially if you are not a big reader.

The first chapter is more of a foundational chapter. It deals with the idea that all of humanity has "deceptive" tendencies. Each one of us is capable of doing horrible things without God at the core of our life.

I personally think the first chapter of the book is very shocking and fascinating at the same time. In my opinion, chapter one is a very good chapter, but hey, I wrote the book so my opinion is kind of biased.

I received feeback from a friend who read the chapter and said he zipped through the other chapters a lot more quickly than he went through that first one. So my suggestion for you as a reader is this. If you get bored with that first chapter for any reason, don't hesitate to move right on to chapters two and three where a lot of the excitement and controversy starts.

Chapter two is more entertaining as I share about how my dad made my brothers and I pray and fast, when we were younger, even though we disliked it.

Also, as you may have a chance to read on the description of the book, found on the back, each chapter can be read individually. I mention in the introduction to the book that each chapter should be viewed as a journey. There are individual lessons that can be picked up by reading each chapter as if it were its own book.
