" This book had a big impact on my spiritual life. So much so that for the last fifteen years I have kept multiple copies on my shelf so I can give it away if I ever run across someone who hasn't read it. Profound and inspiring--and maybe the shortest book I've ever read! "

" Simple, powerful. If one used this philosophic, spiritual path Love would be in mind consistently, constantly. Alas, the distractions of the illusory world just keep showing up and off I go again. But still, his Wisdom remains true and also in my holy mind. A very important read. "

" This is one of those books that said very little, with an over abundance of words. I could sum it up in a chapter, perhaps a sentence. Actually, just read the book title, that's good enough. "

" It was alright but it didn't hold my attention. A lot of the chapters / letters were quite short. "

" This tiny, tiny, tiny book comes with a GREAT impact. I HIGHLY recommend this for ANYONE. It is readable, especially for its time period; it is thought-provoking and challenging. I could re-read this on a daily basis and come away constantly challenged. "

" Good book - not outreach focused at all- makes the spiritual life seem like, if worked for, easy. Best redeaming value is a better daily walk with God. Good read but not great. "
