I purchased the book to get an idea of the thought process of someone who tries to combine the Christian faith with Buddha. He has a total misunderstanding of the Christian faith and obviously does not take the Bible literally or seriously. For someone looking for spiritual insight the only thing someone will find is confusion and a misrepresentation of Jesus. There is no redeeming value to this book.
