makes hindu theology accessible to non-hindu readers

This is a rare work by a gifted author, one who is able to juxtapose the wisdom of the Hindu tradition with the traditional Judeo-Christian framework most readers will bring to his work. The book not only tells you about Hinduism, but is an example of how Hindu religious ideas and practices can speak to those of other religious faiths. It is the work of a scholar and there are certainly elements which reveal the author's expertise in Hinduism. Yet the book is true to its title, Hindu Wisdom For All God's Children, and the author is successful in making pearls of theological wisdom from the East accessible to the average reader in the West. Beautifully written.
