a awesome book

this book was great. It taught me the difference between a being a good or bad christian plus it was realistic. The characters messed up sometimes and weren't perfect. it gave me an idea of how hard it would be to try and be like jesus. Hey, i might even try to do what jesus would do myself.

Keeps You Going

I really liked this book. It was something I could actually relate to, with realistic characters and real-life situations. It is about a popular Christian girl and a grunge Atheist who participate in a seemingly simple experiment only to find that doing what Jesus would do is not even as easy as it seems. They find more about themselves and Jesus in two weeks than they have in years. I think this book will be a winner with anyone.

Review

I am an ordinary 14 year old teenage girl. I read this book and I really enjoyed it. It brought out some really good points about acting as jesus would. In the beginning I didn't know what to expect from this book. The characters are great. The story really gives you the actual idea of what the characters thoughts and feelings are. It gets you thinking about being a Christian and what it really means to be a Christian. After reading this story, i want to get one of those bracelet's they sell at the store that has "WWJD?" on it. hehe =)

Interesting -- Keeps you thinking!

The Experiment is a book that you put down and think about for a while, then you pick it up and read it again. The first time I read it, I was almost in tears with the apologies, the reports, and other things that the two main characters went through. Although it is based on a spiritual phenomenon, I believe that it will touch the hearts of all others as well. It is about a girl who, by sticking up for her faith is challenged to, for two weeks, ask herself: What Would Jesus Do? And an atheist who is told to do the same thing. The end is totally unexpected. I think that anyone would like this book.
