Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Scientology has experienced a recent barrage of negative press and charges of cultism but can boast the adherence of entertainment figures and many others who swear by its techniques. This handsome large-format book, with over 250 color and black-and-white photos, chronicles the life of the founder of Scientology by focusing on his myriad achievements. According to the book, these achievements are vast?aviator, adventurer, explorer, composer, philosopher, and writer; nothing seems to have escaped Hubbard's attention. That some of these stories seem expansive (Hubbard the pilot is shown mainly standing next to planes or holding on to someone else at the controls) was apparently irrelevant to the goal of portraying a supposedly universal genius. More interesting is Hubbard's youthful passion for scouting. He was delighted with the system of merit badges, which would figure into Scientology's levels of enlightenment (clear levels). Since the book serves an advertising purpose for the church, it is not generally recommended for public libraries, though libraries with interest in Scientology could consider.?Ben O'Sickey, "Library Journal"
