After reading this book, if anything, I am even more convinced of my agnostic/pagan views. I grew up as a Baptist and Mennonite, so I have experienced quite a few different views concerning Christianity. And all this book did was help show how Christianity is based more around a narcissistic and abusive god and uses confirmation bias and emotional manipulation to keep people within the faith. So no, Christianity is not true, and while I am glad that Ron's wife was healed, it was not from any higher power.

I don't think the book has changed my outlook or belief status. I do believe there is a higher power but what it is is only know to whatever is out there. Blind faith is not really something that I can subscribe to.

Words are very powerful and can definitely help with changing someone's mind, but non-faithful people are really hard to sway, and I don't think this book is powerful enough to do that.

I think the only thing that could make agnostic people wonder "what if" is the study of religions and reading holy books, like the bible, the quran or the torah

I am a believer, although I can definitely be a better follower. I do believe the tongue has all the power and you can literally save or kill a person with what come out of your mouth. With the right words, you can build a person up so much that they feel and believe that they can move mountains, but with the wrong words, you can drive a person to kill. That is so much power, and you have to believe that people will use it correctly as God gave us freedom of choice. It is then your choice in what you believe, and I do believe that the right words can make a non-believer a believer or inspired enough to give more thought into it.

I'm a non believer and I still stand on what I believe in. I also feel like even if it is all true, I'll still be able to make to heaven because of good deeds and me avoiding any type of malicious activity.

Everyone is free to have any beliefs they choose, and since we're all continually changing and growing, this is especially true. A non-believer may, in my opinion, become a believer after reading such literature and hearing such stories.

I am a Catholic Christian and I am a believer of God. My believe has not changed because i have seen the power of God. For the ways of God is not the ways of man.

There is nothing as encouraging as having an encounter with God's word concerning your life. Even amid that temptation, his word will make you overcome.

When someone says “what if” to me, I reply “what if not”.
This book didn’t affect my beliefs in any way because I believe everyone has what works for them. If you believe it hard enough then it will most likely work for you. But I’m the end of everything, no one knows anything about miracles for sure.

Being a believer, I am hoping with all my heart that some unbelievers were touched by the contents of this book. I will really love to read some testimonies in the comments here.

I'm a believer, I have witnessed the miracles of God in so many ways, and this book has impacted so much in me I can't change my beliefs no matter what I face.

I was brought up a Catholic but somewhere along the way I lost Faith. Such books make me think of my upbringing

Such a thought-provoking story will definitely elicit enormous reflection on someone's belief.
It strengthened my faith and belief in God nonetheless.
