REVIEW: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from BookLook Bloggers Program.
I am very much on the fence about this book. Most of it was very helpful to me from a returning Christian point of view. A few things I found to be a little too elementary, however, I can see how it would be useful to a brand new Christian. I did find that my past Catholic upbringing did color my views on some subjects (especially contrary to the whole memorizing Bible verses part), so be wary of this. It doesn't detract from the book, however, I did notice it.
The version I received was an e-book copy of it, and so, it didn't not have the pictures and illustrations that many of the reviews speak so highly of. Perhaps this would have added to my experience. 
Overall, this was an enjoyable book, but some parts were a bit too elementary for me.
