Excellent thought-provoking book. July 25, 2008
Wonderful book for reflections on Christianity. Brings together some of the best religious thinkers in a way that allows one to contemplate one's relationship with God.

After a recommendation from Pastor Harrell at City Church, I purchased this book and have read the first 20 pages and so far love it- it's rich and reflective and a great devotional in light of Lent and Easter. Definitely recommend it!!! And Amazon got it to me in 2 days- great service!
Loved it!! March 20, 2007

These 72 brief essays are loaded with inspiring and challenging spiritual insight. The authors are incredibly diverse--Leo Tolstoy, Thomas a Kempis, Meister Eckhart, Martin Luther, Mother Teresa, and John Updike, to name a few. Not every contributor is a household name, but every reflection is moving and powerful...
"Christianity is the only religion on earth that has felt that omnipotence made God incomplete." G.K. Chesterton
"If the ultimate, the hardest, cannot be asked of me; if my fellows hesitate to ask it and turn to someone else, then I know nothing of Calvary love." Amy Carmichael
"The essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man." John Scott
"A follower is or strives to be what he admires. An admirer, however, keeps himself personally detached." Soren Kierkegaard
Those thoughts alone might supply forty days-worth of spiritual reflection! For preparation and renewal, this book is can be opened again and again.
TERRIFIC!!! June 13, 2006

I purchased this book as it looked interesting per the Bas Bleu book review. I read it even outside the Lent season; I feel that reading a short essay or two each day keeps me grounded and remembering to pray, and to be thankful every day. I am not a big church goer, and I found this book to be very engrossing. The variety of writers and topics holds the reader's attention; I think anyone who believes in a higher power will find this book very enjoyable.
