1.0 out of 5 stars Two Thumbs Down..., December 30, 2003

Jeff Larson (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Great Christian Thinkers Francis and Bonaventure (Paperback)

This book really was a dull read because it was poorly researched and wriiten. Rout's attempt at explaining the process of Franciscan mysticism in two pages is laughable and any discerning mind can see that he lacks any intellectual or spiritual depth. This is another example of the slim volumes biographies of philosophers which emerged in the 1990's as ameans to appeal to the general population.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing Book, August 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Christian Thinkers Francis and Bonaventure (Paperback)

Although the author is a noted theologian this work really did not satisfy the criteria for a complete study of the subject. The biographies were shallow and the examination of mystical experience laughable. It reads like a Sunday school book of 'inspiration' for 13 year olds with 'religious feelings'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, throughful little book..., December 13, 2002

"beggarbooks" (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Great Christian Thinkers Francis and Bonaventure (Paperback)

Every page of this easy-to-read book is inspiring and worth taking a highlighter to! I loved the prayers and quotes that were included; they showed the sensitivity and compassion of these two wonderful saints. A beautiful book for sure!
