          <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this book.  It has some sizable doctrinal issues (some call the book blasphemous), but if you're able to recognize them and put them aside, the book is a great read.  It really brings the passion and love of the Trinity to life for the reader (or at least for me).]]></body>
