A short but deep read

This book challenged my thoughts on some ways and affirmed others. If dogma and the creedal statements are the backbone of your belief/faith system, this book is not for you. But for those that struggle with fully believing every sentence of the creedal statements or with traditional dogma, this book might be helpful. My biggest concern with this book is one is left with the feeling that you are to follow the Way of Jesus with no spiritual guidance. I struggle to see how we can ever sustain the life of love Jesus teaches without help.
