It highlights the core message at the heart of each these religions elucidated with Rev. Crestwell's personal insight. He caps each chapter with 7 clear and concise affirmations for applying the message to our lives; a quick start guide towards spiritual fulfillment.Angelica ShielsreaderYour book is really a treasure. I loved how accessible/readable it was and the personal stories. The message I needed the most was "you were meant to struggle with finding purpose." (And i want to put some of those affirmations on a poster in my house.) But all messages were so meaningful and so so thought-provoking. (The part about the effects of an assumed white jesus on non-white people, for example, was pretty eye-opening.) You are right, "Momma ain't raise no fool."Sherri CalvoreaderI really enjoyed reading this book. It's engaging and easy to read, and I like the way you draw insights from each tradition. This book is very "you" and your voice comes through clearly. It reminded me of your sermons, which I always look forward to and appreciate.Darrel NashreaderThe chapter on synchronicity was the most interesting to me. He takes us through his personal struggles and triumphs in searching for what his life is meant to be. His story encourages us to move beyond our rational thinking and to be open to-indeed search for-guidance from the Ultimate Source in making our life decisions.
