This book expands on the Bible in an incredible way.
It clarifies all the mysteries of our lives .....
Why are we here? Life after death ..... God's master plan....
the cosmos...eternity...and much more.
It is a revelation!
 Good book for some, for sure not a book for all. July 28, 2008
I will try to make this review easy to read and to understand.
- Overall positive point:
If you have an open mind and if you are a person that does not have die-hard beliefs ingrained in your mind through the environment you grew up in, this book has the potential of being a good read. If you are happy with your own beliefs and you are not in search of any other point of view, you should not bother reading this book. For some, this book holds the answers to many questions humankind is still searching, but again you have to try to understand what's written, take notes, study and draw your own conclusions. This book is complex and demands patience, and this for me is a favorable point.
- Overall negative point:
The word "bestowed" is repeated and used thousands of times throughout this book and it becomes really annoying after a few pages. Lots of names and words are made up, and if you don't take notes for later reference you will get lost soon and frustration will make you send this book back for a refund. All individuals that have strong religious convictions of any kind will not like this book. Well, just read the negative reviews here and you will understand. Some will call it science fiction, some will call it useless, etc... but for me this kind of book deserves study time.
- Conclusion:
Remember, all conclusions you will draw from this book will be influenced by your belief system that was shaped since you were born. If you read this book you need to strip down yourself of all preconceived concepts, judgments and beliefs. Your mind has to be a somewhat blank slate to be able to grasp these concepts. Just keep this in mind: Earth is to the universe what an atom in a grain of sand in Bangladesh is for you - small and insignificant.

Run Away! June 5, 2008

Run FAR away from this book! It's straight out of the pits of hell. It's straight out of the New Age sewer that satan is using to usher in the New World Order.
Gal 1:6-9: "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach ANY OTHER gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."
