The book is truly for everyone: Religious or non-religious. God-curious or not. In fact, I believe it would be more beneficial to non-religious than to religious people. If you know someone who has questions about God, their mortality, and the afterlife… consider getting them this book.

It’s not written by a pastor or a college trained theologian, and this makes it especially refreshing. … The author makes Biblical truths clear to understand.

Whether he is sharing personal details about his life or explaining Bible passages, the author’s narrative style is straightforward and easy to read. Borthwick’s tone is as casual and warm as a friendly conversation in a friend’s living room.

What sets this book apart is the way Borthwick interweaves his personal life experiences, including struggles, near-death encounters, and reflections on faith, with theological discussion. This not only humanizes the narrative but also makes it relatable especially for readers who may feel distant from organized religion or intimidated by traditional theological texts.

The author takes a unique approach in explaining why God makes sense in a very down-to-earth way. … Michael is successful in writing a book that uses truths from the Bible to discuss the character and desires of God in a plain, easy-to-understand way.

Whether you are a Christian, curious, or have questions, this book will make you ponder and think about your life. … I loved how the author compared fixing a car to following Jesus. If the mechanic understands how the systems of the car work, then the repairs can be made.

This is one of the very few religious books that I read in two sittings. I fell in love with the book when I read the first chapter, with the author's writing maintaining that tempo until the end. The author's style of writing communicates love and concern for readers and a desire to share valuable information with readers of any caliber.

This is a book written from a mechanic's point of view. … Just like most machines will have a manual, so will the Bible, God's manual for his creations to follow. … It was a truly touching story.

I appreciate that the book is not only focused on sin and consequence but also on a message of hope. … The walk of faith can be grueling, but readers must remember that they can approach God just as they are.

His tone was very accommodating as he did not try to impose his beliefs on us but rather gave us reasons to believe him. … The use of simple grammar made it an easy read even for non believers.

In fact, if you are a pastor or Bible teacher, you will find several sayings in this book that you may want to borrow. … It is also laid out very nicely in a way that will help those seeking more information on Christianity to find it.

This is not a high and lofty religious book, but it covers so many reasons one might try to not believe in God and Jesus in such a clearly laid out fashion. … Definitely, a valuable book.

It's not about memorizing verses (Bible) for the sake of it, but it's about receiving a practical, working knowledge of faith and how it could be applied to everyday life.

An important message you will learn from this book is to give God a chance. … This is a book many readers will enjoy reading. It is one I would gladly read again, just as I have reread other books I have enjoyed reading.
