What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Needleman has put out a powerful and deeply personal book about his lifelong effort to connect with God using both his head and his heart…a rare book that manages to be both skeptical and inspiring.”
–San Francisco Chronicle
“A thought provoking amalgam of philosophy, interpersonal psychology, and religious thought.”
–Library Journal
“Although the subject matter may at times seem challenging to the casual reader, the author’s informal, chatty style makes it appealing to anyone interested in exploring spiritual matters and following one distinguished writer’s quest to develop some understanding of at least a trace of the essential nature of the Divine.”
–Retailing Insight
“An erudite, challenging text full of difficult questions”
–Kirkus Reviews
