Interacting with some of the posers contained in this work will definitely lead to a sober reflection of the reader as well as strengthen one's abiding faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. In addition to the questions, there are some explanations on some of the deep sayings of the Holy Bible which most readers tend to misconstrue.Above all, this work will induce readers, particularly Christians, to take ownership in godly pursuits and to domesticate their relationship with God. This is against the lukewarm attitude of most Christians who treat God as an abstract being. This work is about the desire to draw near the God in us and to personalize our relationship with him. The work concludes with an afterword which is a candid advice from the heart of the author to all readers.
