It's written for Christians who seek to follow Jesus according to scripture and for Pre-Christians who have not yet become followers. Readers will find the content interesting, challenging, truthful and powerfully freeing --- with a bit of humor sprinkled throughout. This is a small book but power packed with God's wisdom and revealed knowledge. As an added bonus there is a "quick" 30-day devotional guide at the end of the book. "Happy is the man who finds wisdom and the man who gains understanding for his proceeds are better than profits of silver."
