This is the first book I've read about Labyrinths and I love the symbolism, concept, idea, and impact it can have. I found some personal insights while reading the book very powerful and helpful. As someone who no longer subscribes to Christianity I round the heavy emphasis on Christian experience and language a bit off putting. The author isn't exclusive or elitist about their Christianity, so I think it's probably more about the recency of this massive change in myself rather than the author's approach. However, I would have appreciated more discussion around Labyrinths BEFORE Christianity got a hold of them. I'll be looking for books about Labyrinths that fit this description and appreciate the introduction that this book provided to them.
