It's a good and precious collection of sentences from all works of Bohme.
However I must stress the errors of the comments of Hartmann, it's best to stay away from the doctrines of the teosophical school.
I personally avoid the commentary and only focus on the actual quotes from Bohme.

I read the kindle version of this book some time ago and have reviewed it several times. This is clearly the best spiritual book that I have read. The book discusses the trinity, creation, man and other areas in very clear terms. I found this book very inspirational and the desire and need to re-read this book due to the difficult subject matter. In closing, although Jacob Boehme was a Christian Mystic, this is a book for people of all religions.
