Dele Babalola, been the author has tried in expanding the word of God to the universe through an act of writing this. Christians are to know that this is a benefit to them. Although true believers are hardly to be found these days of end time, but GOD can surely intervene into the life of readers through this book.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It seems you were able to read the book, too.

A Christian book offering an interpretation of the bible (old and new Testaments) sounds helpful, but it isn't for me. The author the story of Jesus and other stories. Like you, I also disagree with the idea that only "true Christians" will be saved. Hopefully, the errors you mentioned were fixed by now. Thank you for the review!

Today's BOTD sounds like a great guidebook for those interested in reading and understanding the words of the Bible. It's not something I'm looking for at this time, but I have downloaded my free copy for future use. Thank you for your helpful and thorough review. :-)

Based on the review this book is not something that I would enjoy reading. I dislike reading books about religion or religious beliefs. I will pass on reading this book.

This is a religious non-fiction book on Christianity and the bible. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has an interesting OnlineBookClub review. I rated the book 3 out of 4 stars. Congrats @DeleBabalola for the BOTD.

The word of God or Almighty always inspires me to live a righteous life, and definitely, I would like to read, 'The Bible in a Nutshell,' in order to learn more about the creator and his creation.

I found myself immediately not liking this book due to a sentence used early on: life is a ticking time bomb. That, to me, is an outright scare tactic. I have come to learn that we can either live in fear or live in love. This tactic of injectioning fear into the masses in order to get them to believe is worn out on me. I am a believer, and I have been for a long time. We live in a world that has a lot of hurting people in it who need the love of God. Yes, there are those who have hearts that have grown cold. Due to what? A lack of love. I cannot read this book due to his point of view. When I first changed my life and gave it over to God, I thought this type of approach was necessary to get me and the rest of the unsaved in line. I no longer accept this. I have watched it fail time and again. Thanks for the insight on this one. I am sure his intentions are good, but the approach is not for me.

It is encouraging that the book reminds readers about the two greatest commandments in the bible and that we are living in the end times. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll read the book, it doesn't fall on my favourite genre. Awesome review.

Looks like an interesting read, especially for Christians, as you say. Thanks for your review.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Basically I love the title of the book.
An atheist writing a book concerning the Bible and Jesus Christ is powerful.
An atheist becoming a Christian is marvelous!!
And about the encounter with Jesus in a revelation makes the book a must read for me.
In my opinion I think this book really inspires you on how to become a better Christian.
Thanks for the review.
it's really inspiring.

I am a Christian and I agree with your opinion on the term "a true Christian" being replaced. Given that the Bible in itself is contradictory, one can't claim to use it when defining what a true Christian should be. The book sounds thought-provoking and I've already downloaded my absolutely free copy!

Great review! I agree that the term "true Christian" is a little controversial. Who are the 'true" Christians anyway? The ones who never fail to go to church every Sunday but are self righteous, or the people who do good but misses mass? Or the priests and nuns? I am a Christian and I believe that God loves all equally whatever your religion.
