It's None of Your Business by Jordan K. Michaels is a religious book that encapsulates the themes of God's supremacy, call to service and much more so, total submission to the will of God.

Inside, the author highlights the conditions that one must fulfil if one is to identify with God's business and prosper in it. According to her, God is the Chief Executive Officer of the business as well as the originator of the laws that guide the operation of His merchandise. Therefore, those who are called to His service must do so with all humility and grace. In the same breath, she explains that one does not always have to understand God's working plans before one obeys them to the letter; after all, God is all-knowing and unquestionable.

One of the things I like about this book is its title. It piques my interest to know the content of the book at first sight. Interestingly, I got more than I bargained for while reading the text. Besides, the author wrote as an authority, yet, in simple and clear terms. Additionally, the author drew inferences from the Bible and personal experiences to drive home her points. For instance, she alludes to Acts (of the Apostles) in the Bible which details the life and times of Jesus' disciples to illustrate her position on total submission to God's will. Infusing her own account into the book also gives credence to the points raised. For example, the testimony of how God rescued her from smoking shows that God can save and use anyone willing to give themselves up to His business.

These, however, do not overrule the excesses of the author. As much as I like her submissions, I find them rather too extreme and repetitive. At some point, I could not make meaning of her exegesis. Sometimes, her explanations appear disjointed and incomplete. The author also believes that Christianity is the only way to Heaven. For example, she stated that Hinduism, among other world religions that do not seek or acknowledge Jesus, will not lead to the Kingdom of God. Though her argument may be right from a Christian perspective, I dislike her portrayal of other religions as heathen and impracticable. Other than these, the book has a ton of spiritual treasures to unpack. Hence, I rate the book 2 out of 4 stars.

The author was careful not to commit grammatical errors, as I could not find any while reading the book. Finally, I recommend this book to readers who enjoy reading spiritual texts.

Thank you Isreal, for your honest and straight-forward review.
I highly and greatly appreciate your heart-spoken words, and I understand how it sounds like one "religion" seems to trample another, through words. The writing of this book, as Jesus spoke in John 8, speaks how man tends to "judge after the flesh."
However, this book, like the voice of God, who dictated every word, speaks to the spirit of man, not the flesh (mind). So, until the veil is lifted from our flesh, we will "feel" the condemnation of these words. Though once the veil is lifted, then will we be able to learn the truth that offers to make all mankind free.
In the Love of the Lord, our God, thank you again for your review and your recommendation.

I, too, found the title interesting. It is my attitude, as well. Reading your review got me thinking. I tell lots of people this and never realized how frustrating it can be. I never thought about it from God’s perspective.

The author heavily advocates for Christianity. I also found the book title alluring. Great review.

This is a purely Christian book. And I find it enjoyable reading a Christian book. With the look of things, it is clear that the book exposes the reader to the knowledge of God. Great review.
