What did you love best about The Four-Gospel Journey as a Guide for the Spiritual Life?

This is a highly informed and sensitive perception of the Gospel presented in a very intimate way. Although a 'different' take, it is firmly grounded in a spiritual practice that is relevant to 'how' we read as well as 'what' we read.It is very much a contemporary take on timeless reality.

What other book might you compare The Four-Gospel Journey as a Guide for the Spiritual Life to and why?

'Surprised by Joy' by C.S Lewis, has a similar sense of the personal revelations experienced by an individual being shared.

What about Dr. Alexander J. Shaia PhD’s performance did you like?

Alexander, is a natural teacher. He encourages the listener to think freshly rather than accept instruction. There is a poetic flavor to his expression of ideas that is both hooked into past thought, insight into history and universal grace .

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I consider this an excellent introduction to thinking and feeling the Gospel .

Any additional comments?

It blows away simplistic readings and helps reveal a deeply cultural context without becoming only 'history.' I think the writers own family history has allowed him to be able to act like a translator. There is an emotional edge that touches the heart. There is a tenderness and vulnerability that embraces the "I am with you."
