This book is an exceptional follow up to the original novel, "The Unseen Essential". James P. Gills does an extraordinary job connecting you with each of the Characters and provides a smooth and easy read for this 500+ page masterpiece.

Awful second part. The author failed to give a second part that would be better than the first book. Instead of building on spiritual ideas, he worried about advancing his conservative political agenda. Then, it looks like he ran out of space in order to bring a closure of the ideas exposed, that is, some events and some characters introduced in this book.

It's one of those books I have read more than 20 times give or take.. That statement speaks for itself.

I read his books while i was in jail. Even if It wasnt the best. It gave hope in difficult times, it showed many things through his writig. He offers his books free to places like the one i was in.

I wish I could do different ratings for different aspects of books. The book was well written and hard to put down. The major issue I have with it, is the main character, Michael Natasis. He is one of the most completely unlikable characters in any book I've ever read. He turns out all right in the end, but over 600 pages of him being a complete A-hole got old. Because of this, I'm giving the book a one star rating, and it will be going to the Salvation Army next time I make a donation.
