Actually, the truth is exactly the opposite. I think the vast majority of people who come to faith in Christ do so by reading the scriptures. I encourage people to read it prayerfully, asking God about what they are reading and to show them the truth.
It's a pleasant thought, but it's wrong. The majority of the faithful don't even know what's in magic book. You'd get better info from this group of nonbelievers. Study after study after study confiorms this rather amusing tick of contemporary faith.
How people who have not read magic book could come to faith through it, would be the real miracle. Additionally, it's not entirely cogent to insist that a person who doesn't believe in gods prayerfully ask them for things.
This may have been what you were doing, ofc- you had an experience while you read magic book. As such it makes sense for you to tell others to do x - the x that you were doing when you had your experience.
