Swami Kriyananda has done a tremendous job capturing the spirit and letter of what Yogananda originally intended for this book, earlier published under the title The Science of Religion. I've read both books and greatly prefer this one. I think God is for Everyone clearly conveys the message that Yogananda wished to send to America and Americans when he first came to this country: that God is not some distant Being, but very accessible; and that whatever it is we want in life, we will find it more truly, fully, and completely if we begin by seeking Him.

Non-sectarian and non-dogmatic in its approach to universal faith, God Is For Everyone is a powerful testimony to the rich rewards of a spiritual life. Describing God as an ever-present, ever-conscious force that all can tap into, it offers insight into promoting mutual respect and understanding among the religious traditions of the world. Written for nonspecialist general readers of all theological and religious backgrounds, God Is For Everyone is a life-affirming treatise steeped in the wisdom of Paramhansa Yogananda and his disciple, J. Donald Walters (Swami Kriyananda).

God HAS to be for everyone! - If God is so great - powerful - controlling - creating, then practically there should be no problem in accepting God's existence. The minds of many a great have come to the point of inquiring whether a God really exists or not; turning to religion, many find it difficult to accept and cherish the orthodox approach religion takes in defining God.
If a God exists and we are a part of God, whether realizing it or not the saint and the sinner alike must both be under the influence of God. What does everyone on this planet want? We strive for pleasure and happiness all the time... as if they're in control of our lives. Happiness and pleasure in essence are actually bliss, which has to be God! This book explains to the reader that God IS bliss and helps them to understand that we can seek ultimate fulfillment only in God.
