VERY PLEASED WITH THIS BOOK by L. Ryan (Green Valley, CA)  5 Stars
November 01, 2009
The book got here in a couple of days and it was in great shape. I selected the lowest possible price meaning it was one of the olders books of this type up for sale, and I was surprised to find that the book was in such great condition. It seemed hardly used at all. I needed this quickly for a college course.

The concepts are written in a manner which make it appropriate for any group/individual regardless of age, sex, education level, or ethnic background. The Spirituality exercises are the best I have ever seen.
