An Encounter With a Prophet is an extremely controversial book. Individuals, who feel that they never received satisfactory answers to uncomfortable questions about God, seem to think the book is a rich, clearly written book which, for the first time, provided satisfactory answers to their questions. To fundamentalist Christians the book is a poorly written rag full of blasphemy.
Lots of typos but a great message. I would suggest this book to anyone who went to church as a child but had questions that none of the adults wanted to answer. This book can help one develop what M. Scott Peck refers to in The Road Less Traveled as a "more mature" belief in and understanding of God.
