This is one of the very best books that I have read in the past 15 years. I have everything Borg has written, and this is the best of them all. Written in an easy reading style, with a strong faith base, Borg helps us think through what we believe and why. AN EXCELLENT READ Rev. Don Blosser, PHD

I am always trying to find new ways of describing the Christian search for God, and especially like this book as a way of bridging the gap between mature Christians and those who wonder what Christianity is all about. By calling God "the more" that we seek, and by reinterpreting Bible stories to express a multiple layer of truths, Borg helps me reach out to those questioning the traditional way of expressing Christian faith. The five ways one might view the atonement, and scriptural references from which each was developed, was especially helpful. I bought this book because I am part of a reading group on spiritual topics. I have to admit, I would not otherwise have read this book, but I am now so very glad I did. I recommend it heartily.
This product did not miss the mark so why should I saw it did? An excellent book that I would recommend to anyone.

Excellent, in all respects. Another in a series of books by this author that is extremely helpful to anyone who is on a spiritual journey. Borg is a great teacher/author, and he leads the student/reader through some challenging concepts with skill.
Haven't actually read the book yet. Have had life changes come up but am looking forward to reading it based on the reviews of others.
