So much to say here. Where to begin?
I guess this book truly left me speechless!
But jokes aside this book was exceptionally brilliant and one that stands out from the other books in the category.
I don't think that it would be an exaggeration to call this book one of classics of our modern era and one that will stay relevant for decades to come.
I must confess that I went into this book being heavily biased as I have been heavily influenced and persuaded by the book's author Mr. Michael Knowles, whom I consider to be one of the only voices of reason in the entire world.
So when I started reading this, I expected it to be the sort of book which would expand on my pre-existing beliefs and would equip me with stronger arguments for those beliefs.
Although the book did exactly that, it gave me something more than that.
Something that exceeded my expectations.
Something that I have never heard before.
Something that as soon as I read made absolute sense to me.
And for that, I want to say thank you Mr. Michael Knowles.
Now, as for what those things are, I must implore you read the book for yourself because it would take me to copy-paste the entire book to show you the part I found the most interesting.
Meanwhile, it would suffice to say that this book takes you on a journey. Unlike other books, it never loses its grip on its reader's mind. While reading this book I had the impression that the author meticulously selected his words and arranged his paragraphs to be followed by one-liner points that would make you think about a myriad of things. It felt as though I was reading a book that is a shortened version of ten books in a series.
I cannot recommend it enough. As compared to some of the other books in the market right now, this book is criminally underrated.
I thank God for Michael Knowles and his incredible book Speechless. ]]>
