Reviews

[Eileen O'Finlan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have listened to many of John Shea's lectures and found them all to be compelling. This was the first of Shea's books that I've read. It had the same depth and insight. Shea is a gifted story teller. He has a way of delving deeply into religious writings that brings to the surface gems that might otherwise go unnoticed. His contemplative approach makes for a gentle shedding of light on well-known scripture passages, allowing the reader to think about aspects of the writings they may have never before considered.
