THE BOOK THAT MADE YOUR WORLD by Vishal Mangalwadi

The Book That Made Your World by Vishal Mangalwadi is a complimentary book sent to me by Thomas Nelson Publishers to read and review. This book shows in great detail how the Bible changed the Western Civilization. This book is not for casual reading. It is filled with so much information and everything is backed up by many pages of notes in the back. The author has done much for the poor in India and his first book is used as a text book in many universities. Many humanatarian honors have been bestowed on him. The many comparisons on how the Bible has influenced our lives in the West compared to other civilizations in the East is startling. One interesting thought is that in Hollywood they are producing a whole genre of movies inspired by the idea that the human problem is not the conflict of good vs. evil, but instead is humanity vs. machines. An example is Matrix trilogy, the Terminator series and several episodes of Star Trek. There is so much information and learning in this book that it is really for the more educated reader and very serious Bible students, not for your average reader. I think most of the pages were new information to me and I was just overwhelmed by it all. I do applaud Thomas Nelson for publishing a book that if read and absorbed will show the reader how the Bible has truly affected every thing we believe and how we think and live our lives according to its words. The Bible is the greatest book ever written and it is easier for me to understand than this book.
