Failure, rather than success, is at the heart of the life of Jesus and his message. He came to liberate us from the "gospel of success". It is not in "climbing the ladder of perfection" that we meet God, but in falling from it. And it is then that we discover the most beautiful spiritual gold.
Not sure what this book was like before the author became a Druid and made amendments to it and added a new conclusion but is generally a massive let down now.
