The Seven Circles is the account of a man who arrives in the far future when spiritual reality is a proven fact and mankind has evolved to a higher state. William Drake, the protagonist, finds that his values are completely irrelevant and his dog-eat-dog attitude a barbaric anachronism. That being the case, he is surprised to find that his company is desired by many just for the reason that his, by comparison, savage qualities are rare and gives the people the opportunity to turn the other cheek when faced with his behavior and thereby gain spiritual growth from the experience. The downside is that he is not allowed complete freedom until he has progressed in his own self-mastery through the conquest of the Seven Circles of spiritual, intellectual and material attainment; a daunting challenge for anyone, much less an atheist.tten in the first person, the narrative of William Drake tells of his falling in love with the person who had revived him, Sheila, and of his own spiritual uplift and downfall as he encounters a myriad of personalities, celestial and human, and undergoes transforming experiences that make his soul evolve in cosmic growth.

This review is from: The Seven Circles (Paperback)
This book captivates a spiritual cadence so deep and profound I could not put it down. A brilliant participator in a futuristic world where light emerges so graciously on a baby soul of sorts. I recommend this read for all interested in an evolutionary experience beyond the scope of most science fiction...
4.0 out of 5 stars
Spiritual Science Fiction Fiestsa,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Seven Circles (Paperback)
As a work of science fiction, the story is imaginative and fascinating. There are moments of dazzling beauty and compelling imagery. Unfortunately these moments are too few and far between. The book is written as a first person narrative, and the protagonist is somewhat shallow. I had a hard time identifying with him, or caring much about what happened to him.
The spiritual material in the book mostly comes from the The Urantia Book, and I found it interesting. A ton of material is covered, often in a very dry lecture style. Many of the concepts were presented as an overview, and didn't have much depth. The story bogs down in this material, and as a result the book was not a real page turner for me. I would read a chapter or two and need a break. It's tough for me to give a final rating, I liked it more than spiritual fiction books that I gave three stars, and less than the books I gave 4 stars. Too bad Amazon will not let me give it 3.5 stars. Entertainment: 3 Stars Enlightenment: 4 Stars Overall: 3.5 Stars
