— Irm, 3/30/2013" Interesting kickstarter...it's really more of a Cliff's Notes version of the writings than the writings themselves - which was disappointing. It did, however, give me a good place to start to expand my reading and the writers insights were helpful. "
— pianogal, 10/20/2012" The tale of two books...I Ike some of it a lot and other parts not at all. "
— Kendall, 8/8/2012" Thoughtful book on spiritual formation. Great book to encourage your spiritual growth by reflecting on the practices of previous generations. "
— Alan, 5/30/2012" Didn't finish this one...love the concept, but somehow didnt grab me like I hoped. Maybe I'll come back to it in the future. I'll still use it as a reference. "
— Taylor, 8/18/2011" Last section seemed most applicable. I would definitely want to read this with a group. "
