I have given physical copys to a few people over the years and not a damn one read it. They claimed they were " true Christians " , I fear it would have gone over their heads anyhow.

I actually did quit a job that I was previously planning on retireing from after some deep reflection caused by Tolstoy's writing.

As a kid I was under the impression that was how a Christian would behave and then I became jaded as I grew older. When I read it I thought "that is how they should behave" and it was refreshing to hear someone talk like that.

I personally do not consider myself Christian, I agree with Nitzsche that "there was but only one Christian and he died on the cross" (i can't remember the exact quote, it was from the book " the Anti-Christ") but reading The Kingdom Of God is Within You sparked a genuine curiosity about Christ and religion in general.

Glad you enjoyed it ✌️
