Negative Positive
Title: Not for the average reader
Review: While this book was read for a discussion group and did elicit some group discussion, it was a difficult read for many including myself as leader. At times, it felt as though it were written for those seeking to spend time in lengthy spiritual retreat--perhaps in a monastery or convent. Some sections and ideas put forth could easily be applicable to the common lay person seeking a deeper faith relationship with God but there were so many instructions for following the disciplines that it seemed overwhelming and impossible to accomplish. Probably a great read for divinity students.
