Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today.
Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. A keeper.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Great value for what you get.
Was skeptical at first. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. The font runs small in the appendices. Happy enough with the purchase.
Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Great value for what you get.
