5.0 out of 5 stars Broader understanding of the Christian tradition, February 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Love Never Faileth: Eknath Easwaran on St. Francis, St. Augustine, Mother Teresa and St. Paul (Classics of Christian Inspiration Series) (Hardcover)

This wonderful and beautiful trilogy sheds new light on classic Christian texts and individuals. If you're allergic to Christianity, these books will allow you to view the religion in a more tolerant and enlightened perspective. Easwaran's Eastern take on the subjects will both give Christians a different approach to their tradition, and non-Christians a more accessible outlet in which to understand these traditions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book for our Unity Church Study Class, October 7, 2005

By	Phyllis E. Paulson (Kent, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Our church chose this book as a theme for what we call Faith in Action seven week study in the fall. St. Francis' prayer is my all time favorite prayer and it is interesting to study about the man and his beliefs. We are concentrating on that portion of the book so far.

1.0 out of 5 stars The book had almost none of the writings of the saints., November 13, 1998

By A Customer

The title of the book displays prominently the names of St. Francis, St. Paul, St.Augustine and Mother Teresa. I was expecting to discover seldom found gems of these saints thoughts. I was quite disappointed to find only the very smallest snippets or their best know words and endless, ponderous ramblings of the author. It was as though he used their names to hook me into listening to him dissect their words in infinite detail.
