This book should be on every Christian theologians' bookshelf. If you can't stop to read something this good- you have little business meddling in the affairs of God who is rich in flavor and is the life - full of energy and zest. Mr. Sweet uses words like honey to describe the world as he sees it and as we can see it through a spiritually awakened frame of mind and soul. I came away feeling refreshed like never in my life- by a book that is.. Those who want to fulfill their hearts' longings and those who want to bettter understand the God of this universe- get your copy and share it with others! Even those who just need to regroup and get a new perspective on their lives will benefit by reading.

I found this book to be filled with ideas to really think on. It covers many aspects of theology, but in a readible, understandable way. I used this as a devotional reading and a way to push the limits of my "boxes". I would recommend this book, I have given this book to 5 other people, and their responce has been similar.

I read this book over the span of about a year. I found it more for entertainment and personal interest while seeking God rather than very serious spiritual reading. Every time I would read a chapter, I would come from it feeling refreshed and closer to God, much like a cup of coffee for the soul. Sweet goes off on a lot of tangents, which may be aggravating to some, but if you just let go, Sweet does a great job of subtly making a point. It's nice to see things from a different perspective sometimes. One final note- his chapter on smell brought me to tears and stuck with me for weeks. That chapter alone made the book worthwhile.

I read this book on the recommendation of a friend. It was some of the best money I have ever spent. This book is destined to be a classic devotional/spiritual classic in the tradition of the great writers of the church.

Like all of Leonard's books, I always come away refreshed, lifted up and have a better appreciation of what the Lord is doing in my life.

He speaks in a conversational style that I can understand and relate too, which makes me think, and not rush through his books, but rather, to take time to think about the insights that are being shared.

I look forward to reading his new book "The Gospel According to Starbucks" when it is released!

Insightful, revealing, thought provoking. A look at Leonard and ourselves in a practical authentic manner.
