This is a 40 day Christian meditation exercise. It is very insightful and can have a very positive effect on your life if you commit to following it with some purpose. Each day's meditation is thought provoking and encourages you to explore your inner journey. It does not preach and can be used by anyone with a little faith, I would say.

I couldn't finish it. There were definitely gems in it, but I just couldn't get on with his haphazard writing style. It was difficult to follow at times and sometimes too much in short parts to be able to take anything in with little obvious links. Some just seemed a bit random and I was often more than not, confused

Not well written. Not very thorough.
