[Katherine Brian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Super great to gain a better understanding of how people view life. A very helpful book.

[Doug · Rating 4 out of 5]

A worthwhile read for those wanting to understand the dominant stories in our modern culture. Very useful as a Christian teacher to see where students are coming from, and to be able to critique the consistency of my own practice as a Christian. Easy to read.

[Ashish Jaituni · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good book. Easy to read! Not written for an apologist but for the laymen interested in finding out about World views. I think one should read this book.
