Many years ago I released my vision of an old, grey-bearded male God seated on a golden throne. As it is now, I feel God is no "thing" and everything. We humans seem to have the need to make God look like us to understand her/him. What we forget is that God is "the peace that passes understanding". We are not meant to understand. I read this book because I had heard a lot about it. I found the conversations between Mack and the "trinity" characters to be stilted, awkward and naive. I skipped through most of the center of the book as Wm. P Young attempted to define God from a Christian perspective. Religion has been trying to do that for thousands of years and still hasn't figured out that this is not our job! This book may be enlightening to someone searching for thoughts and ideas "out side of the box" of fundamental Christianity, but to a long time student of metaphysics, it wasn't deserving of all the attention it has received. I believe the teachings of Jesus and live my life according to the principles he set forth. I don't believe that there is only one way to find God and that the one way is through Jesus, the Christ. There are many paths to God. So read the book for yourself. Depending upon where you are on your spiritual path, you may love it and be inspired or be simply bored with it.
