Ratings and reviews

Being a Christian, this book is very good for both children and adults alike. So much so that I would like to order one in minecraft book form. I am starting a Minecraft church in a Minecraft world and this will be the bible for the church. The motto will be "God was the one who clicked 'Create world'."
