Review of "The Book that Made Your World" by Vishal Mangalwadi

This book beautifully combines history, philosophy, anthropology and worldview all in one volume.  It addresses various aspects of life in the United States and the freedoms that those who live there are fortunate to have.  Dr. Mangalwadi shows his readers how principles found in the word of God impact life in the free world.  This is the sort of book that can be kept in your car or bag and can be read over a period of time.  There is so much information to be gleaned from these pages.  Dr. Mangalwadi has a very gracious way of writing, and tells the stories of various people and places with the utmost honor and respect.  I especially enjoyed the way Dr/ Mangalwadi compared and contrasted the lives of Johann Sebastian Bach and Kurt Cobain.  Their early lives are remarkably similar, yet Bach drew closer to God through his circumstances while Cobain's, sadly, made him more depressed and reclusive.  He does similar things throughout the book, showing how the truths of God's word have influenced and inspired many positive aspects of modern life.  Many efforts that now contribute to the physical, emotional and spiritual betterment of society were founded upon principles that God gave many years before now.
