Excellent, thought provoking book

I had to read it multiple times, and it had some more to tell each time. Not an easy read, I had to think on certain sentences a lot until I figured out its true meaning. The figures could look more consistent and have some more description about what they mean, but overall I enjoyed this book very much. Thanks!

Book is thought provoking and one can see how being "lost" or not believing in God the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit, can work in their lives.  It brings thought provoking questions and answers to our spiritual questions and although this is a work of fiction, it might happen the way the author has penned.  I recommend this book for anyone.

A very thought provoking book, full of many different ideas,  as well as the explanations of numerous symbols found around us all the time.  I shall probably read it again, sometime.

A wonderful, thought-provoking book! It engaged my attention throughout my reading of it. It transforms what could be dry and statistical information and insight into a style that is not too academic nor too psychobabblish (did I just create a new word??). It gave me insight into how I think and how others do as well. I teach College courses in Marketing, Advertising, and Management and have already incorporated some of what I've learned into my course delivery (note: I am not plagiarizing). This book got me thinking of ways to better communicate and convey topical terms and concepts to my students. I highly recommend this book if you're at all interested in people, how they think, and how to mediate (bridge and build relationships) with others.

This book is enjoyable, easy to read and thought provoking.  It inspires me each time I reread it. It reminds me of all I have and all I am grateful for. The author has a lot of eye opening thoughts that he put on paper of which I couldn't have thought of in a million years. Looking forward to more books.

'Why Suffering?' by Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale is an awesome book.

The authors explore perhaps the greatest objection to God and Christianity, the problem of suffering.  They do this well with philosophical arguments, but they clearly make the case that for those in the midst of suffering, it is not the intellectual arguments that are needed, but rather love and pastoral care.

They propose a very interesting hypothesis: "Perhaps in part because God desired to create a specific community of individuals, and allowing suffering made it possible for Him to get precisely the community He desired - a community including you, and me, and every person you see walking down the street."  They do a stellar job of arguing this case.

There are many interesting points made in this book, but here is a great one:  "If someone thinks it would be in principle immoral to create someone in a world that includes the likelihood of serious suffering, she will not only need to call God evil, she will also need to call evil anyone who decides to have a child."

Zacharias and Vitale point out that this life consists of only the smallest fraction of our lives.  They wrote:  "In the Christian understanding of reality, what we currently see is only the first few moments of life - literally just the birthing process of human history."

There are many other superb arguments made.  This book is really a must read for anyone pondering the problem of evil/suffering.  In addition, I would encourage every Christian to read it.

Most of the liberal left will not like this book.  It is an extremely thought provoking book that examines what it might be like when "judgment day arrives.  If you have deep religious feelings, this book will certainly cause you to examine your beliefs--it might even make you have second thoughts about what you really believe.  The only fault that I could find with the book was that the author appears to be Roman Catholic and leaned a little bit too far in that direction.

The book was so thought provoking, that as soon as I finished reading it, I immediately went back to the beginning and read it a second time. I am sure that in the near future I will read it a third time but right now I am in the middle of one of his other books.

I was very glad to have read the book.  The author's name, Mandeep, has been aptly given to him.  He is indeed a deep man.  His book delves into the different religions and offer answers to life's most difficult questions, all in an easy-to-read fashion.  He packs excellent insights in a relatively short book even as he discusses not-as-easy-to-comprehend topics, such as aspects of religion, science and the paranormal.  Well done.  I highly recommend this book!

Excellent book, well written. Randy Alcorn does a great job of explaining the biblical view on money and also adds some of his own personal convictions. During and after reading this I was, and still am, convicted in regards to how I view money. It has been a game changer for sure.

Fantastic, thought-provoking book. I had to take a break after reading the first chapter for a few months because it is so very sad, but when I started reading again I couldn't put it down and finished within a few days.

This book is an excellent exploration of how the mind makes decisions and judgements. It is a great way to think about thinking. Well researched and well written. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this book.  It makes you think about things you take for granted.  In my view it is on par, and even surpasses, a lot of Malcolm Gladwell's works.  The way our mind works and the decisions we make are clearly and cleverly depicted by Dr. Boxer Wachler.  I highly recommend this book.

This is a great book that really makes you think about what you believe and why you believe it.  It is well worth the time to read and at times study this book, it is very eye opening.  I would highly recommend it to everyone who is concerned about their relationship with God, and eternity.

I read this from the library last year and it was in the top five of all the books I read for 2015 (~40). In fact, I'd recommend it for Christians and non-Christians alike; Tim Keller does a marvelous job of talking through why it is intellectually honest to believe in God. What I like about this book (and Tim Keller in general) is that he doesn't claim to be making a foolproof argument--he gives thoughts for you to consider and ponder and put together on your own. I purchased this because I wanted it as part of my home library and to re-read again. I'd strongly, strongly recommend this book.

I don't agree with everything the author David Berreby claims in this book, but it is nonetheless an excellent treatment of the subject.  Berreby is very good writer and writes in an engaging style that you can't help but like.  His book does an outstanding job of clarifying the issues of thinking in terms of human kinds regardless of whether you agree with him or not.  This book makes you think.  Highly recommended.

This book is excellent in that it is simple, yet extremely thought provoking.  I loved the format of the book in that I could easily read each section in a brief setting and then spend time reflecting on the ideas presented.  It appears that this was the intent of the authors.  This book also integrates the various spiritual traditions of the world with theories of psychology.  I have spent years researching many of the spiritual ideas presented by differing cultures and have wondered how they are all linked to each other.  This book provides some insights into the importance of gleaning wisdom from the various spiritual traditions of the world and implementing them into our daily lives.  I like the chapters that draw upon the wisdom presented in the Upanishads (but that is my own personal preference) because I love the quietness of the soul that is experienced when I'm immersed in these ancient sacred documents.  This book is a book that I am excited to share with my friends and will be a book that I will read again many times in the future.
