"The Final Keystone" by John Kevin Crowley was an enlightening book that deeply examined the great philosophers like Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato. With the aid of the philosopher's knowledge, the book related the concepts of the various forms of governance to the various revolutions that took place in the 19th and 20th centuries and how they resulted in WW1 and WW2. The history of the various leaders, such as emperors and kings, who had different understandings of the forms of government, such as democratic, aristocratic, and monarchial forms, all had great impacts on the citizens' lives in terms of social, political, economic, and religious aspects. Read more to understand the history and the impacts it had. How did the various religions come into existence? Who were the various leaders examined in this book?

The author offers various instances concerning the Bible and challenges our understanding of the lessons we learned from the philosophers. What if we got it all wrong? What mark did we miss? I liked how the author conveyed the teachings in the book. The Bible verses quoted to enhance the understanding of the book were relevant. The book requires a top level of understanding as it can easily be misunderstood. I even had instances where I questioned my understanding of the Bible and Jesus.

"The Final Keystone" was a well-researched book that required readers to embrace critical thinking in understanding the lessons we learn daily. I found nothing to dislike about the book; it was concise, orderly, detailed, and informative. The language used was easy to understand with further explanation of terms or words written in foreign languages. I liked how the author referenced certain children's stories and a poem to provide more elaborate explanations. It was captivating.

The book deserves a perfect rating of 5 stars out of 5. It was exceptionally and flawlessly edited because I couldn't find any typos or grammatical errors. It was enlightening; I had never read any book before that detailed the lives of the great philosophers or the causes of WW1 and WW2. It was interesting to finally get to understand them.

The book "The Final Keystone" can easily be misunderstood by readers, especially on the religious aspects; therefore, I recommend it to adult readers because they already have a concrete and logical understanding of such aspects and have a better judgment on current political matters.

Thank you for penning such a well established review. I enjoyed reading it. Keep it up.
