Review # 1 was written on 2017-07-20 00:00:00 Steve Duthie This book has been helpful in my journey of consciousness and wholeness. It is a different perspective from what I'm used to reading in Christian literature, as it delves deep into psychological aspects of the Christian life. I loved the focus on the development of the individual, but that also scared me. I come from a context where individual-focus sounds selfish and prideful. But at the risk of seeming selfish I've longed to explore and develop my inner consciousness and therefore reach more unity within myself. Something that came to mind while reading is that, too often, we are concerned more with being good than being whole. If I develop wholeness by embracing creativity in life, then goodness will flow out of that. Trying to be good by following rules for the sake of rules will be exhausting and unproductive. I have a lot to work on in myself, but I found this book to be very encouraging in my journey.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-24 00:00:00 John Burgess Thought provoking even for this atheist. A Jungian interpretation of Jesus. If this author had been my first exposure to the church I could see attending.
