Rarely read a book. Not even finished a chapter. But this book is captivating... Rebetting. Strong. Some of high lights why every single statutes should come down. For God fearing community, respecting a statutes is not Godly. The punishment is a heavy penalty... Let's Pray. Let's continue to read this book.
