Definitely not my cup of tea, because, as not a religious person in the traditional sense, I am not in a habit of blaming God for everything that goes wrong or praising for all good things happening. It is quite hard for me to understand such a mindset and, therefore, I prefer to skip the book. Congrats with BOTD, anyway!

I appreciate the author's raw honesty in sharing his difficult life through this book. Some readers could relate to this personal spiritual guide. I still don't understand what the number 1313 is referring to. I guess it related to a Bible verse. Nice review!

The review explained how the writer encourage and build relation with God in difficult moment, but I do wonder why do men always discovered faith as a result during hard times?.
I do appreciate the other aspects mentioned in the book which are though provoking.
Thanks to BOD

'Official Review: God's Kingdom 1313 The Secret Pain' by Mark Hour has a thought-provoking introduction. It ponders over the book's thesis. The author shares personal experiences from childhood, adolescence, failed relationships, and marriage. He discusses pain and sadness and then explains how these affected his behavior. Furthermore, he emphasizes the importance of effective communication in relationships. It was great to learn that the book is a genuine way of reaching out to those who feel lost and hopeless!

The review is great in a way that it not only exhibits the skills of the reviewer but also the author in producing masterclasses. I've got to know all about the book and am as well attracted to reading it.

Mark Hour shares how he turned his life around through the love of God. From narcotics to prison to family life and peace. This book walks us through the author's experiences. With questions for self-evaluation, Hour hopes to help other's find their peace also. The title, "God's Kingdom 1313 The Secret Pain" is a little confusing, but it appears the 1313 is in reference to 1 Corinthians 13:13 "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." I hope readers find the truth and that the truth will set them free.

Thank you for your review. I read the sample. The author sincerely wants to help people find a better way in life. It is written with humility and love. I do think jails and prisons need to be schools to reform people who may not have received the proper instruction in their prior lives.

This book invites reflection and a closer look at God. It features impeccable layout and order, and the author uses profound reflections based on his own experiences. Readers can use this book as a good guide based on the experiences described. It's a short book, but it offers significant insight.

God's Kingdom 1313 by Mark Hour will be a great read for Christian readers. The fact that the author was in prison and could write this book demonstrates how much he has evolved personally and spiritually.
