I went into reading this book with a complete open mind. I did not want to take for granted that it was real or unreal. I have completely finished Book I and 1/3 of Book II. I re-read parts of book one first and took a week to absorb the dialogue. I recommend this book to every single person on earth. It is an opportunity which most likely will not come again. It is not a religious book but it will put together the pieces of our existence on this earth and the existence of higher power. If you cannot afford the book get it at the library. It could change you life. It will.
