This book is great for those who like to be told "exactly" what the think, believe and do. For those of us seeking a more spiritual communion with the divine, pass this book up. There is a lot of information in here, but for my personal brand of spirituality, it comes across as too "preachy" and too condescending for my personal taste. There are far better books out there that deal with the philosophical topics behind spirituality that is "non-christian", and I just HATE to be told that one-way-is-the-only-way. Happy hunting!
