| I, too, was drawn to this book, and it was even richer than I imagined it could be. An intricate, well-crafted tale which I would have enjoyed studying with a book club if I was in one. Wonderful story. | |

“These people fail to realize that it is on the inside that God must be defended, not on the outside. They should direct their anger at themselves.
