Customer Reviews

a book to make you think

Never giving answers, never really asking questions, Jay questions everything without questioning... by pulling quotes from all kinds of religious and non-religious texts, he swirls you through all kinds of "arguments". Not a book to make you believe, but a book to make you look again at the world around you. Without coming off as pure rhetoric or too "New Age", this book leaves you floating in space, not really sure which way is up. Also, don't try to read this book from cover to cover... but then again, who am I to tell you how to read it?
