The Book that Made Your World

Vishal Mangalwadi's book is a fascinating read! This book is a survey of how the West (and really the world itself) was greatly shaped by the Bible and Christianity. TBTMYW serves as a great reminder that in order for God to continue to bless America, we must return to the basic principles of faith, hope and charity. I couldn't put the book down. Mangalwadi's knowledge of culture, history and Scripture is magnificent! He truly is "India's foremost Christian intellectual."
