This fascinating book is quite different than any other book that I have ever read. It starts out with a simple test that looks at your "Spiritual Identity." It allows you to question what you believe, as opposed to simply what religious group you belong to. After that, the book launches into a wide reaching description of many spiritual traditions. Hinduism and Buddhism are covered, as is Judaism. After that, the various Christian traditions are covered, as is Unitarianism.

Now, does the above description sound like this book is "all over the road?" Well, it really isn't. The whole idea of the book is to question your spirituality, and look at other traditions. Overall, I found this to be a fascinating and quite eye-opening read. Even if you are not a seeker, looking for something new, you will enjoy this profound look at spirituality, and will feel your mind truly exercised. I highly recommend this book.

I found this book very nicely organized and the Self Test very useful indeed. However, I wonder why there is not even a mention of Taoism, the ancient spiritual path of China, and the basis of the increasingly popular form of "soft" martial art, Tai Chi Chuan. Some may argue that Taoism is more a philosophy, not a "religion" per se, but in some sense neither is Buddhism. Maybe the third edition could correct this omission? Otherwise, A-plus!
