I loved the book and agree with it on so many levels. After getting about 1/2 way through it I decided to follow my standard advice and research the author a bit. This is something I told myself I will always do before reading or buying any book but I sometimes skip this step.
Knowing the author is a Christian priest teaching eastern philosophy ideals (mixed with his Christians views) was a bit of a shock that I found very refreshing and inspiring. He merged the 2 ideals perfectly and I respect him and his positions. It actually enhanced his message because I knew he was not pulling any punches and was teaching what he truly believed (and not something that is unoriginal in anyway).
As a Buddhist and former Christian, I feel there is a place for me in this world and I am not alone. But you do not need to be either to learn from these teachings. Spend time and learn who you are, what your place is in this wonderful world, and be who you were meant to be (and this book will help you discover all that).
