Review
Difficult to judge this book since the book contains contributions of varying quality from at least 30 authors. One author flies criss-cross over the entire world in here contributions (Dexter), the other author knows how to explore a subject in more depth (Lally, Straffon, McHardy, Minehan, Noonan, Shanel). Other authors contributed in the form of prose and poems. In the book we find contributions from both New Age, Pagan and Christian authors, which certainly benefits the diversity of perspectives. All in all an interesting book!
