I recently read The Book That Made Your Would; How the Bible Created the Soul of Western Civilization. I have rarely been as excited to read a book as I was for this one. When I first sat down with this book I thought for sure my excitement misplaced. This book has moments of great suspense such as when he is sharing his own story; however it slows to a snail’s pace during other moments, such as the beginning.
I agree with the author’s statement that you cannot truly understand western civilization without understanding where the principles and morals that shape it originated, the Bible. However, I would go one step further and say that you cannot understand the greatness of America without understanding these roots as well. This realization will make you understand as well the ramifications of removing the Bible from our daily lives. The results of which we are dealing with as a society today.
The author, Vishal Mangalwadi, takes a winding scenic route to the greater point and sometimes seems to fall off topic even. But bear with it and you will find that this book offers a great reminder of just how important the Bible has been through history, as well as the importance of it
I received this book free through booksneeze.com. While the book was free I am able to give freely my own opinion.
