[Jacob Sabin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some of the articles were amazing. Some of the articles I don't think should have been included in the book. It is natural to happen in a book with so many contributors. I do think this book is more helpful for believers who are earlier in their walk with God (though that certainly doesn't have to be the case). While I did not really gain any new insight, I can see where this book could help people and that's why I ended up giving it three stars. Parts of the book were great, but there were too many parts I don't think were done very well for me to rank the book any higher.

I was assigned parts of this book for a class in college, and I enjoyed them enough to keep the book "to finish later." I didn't expect it to be almost 20 years later, but time flies!
