Summary: it's worth it to finish it
Review: This is my new default book to recommend to people who wish to be introduced to spiritual ideas. Especially for highly intelligent skeptics.

The author keeps a very human perspective throughout all his experiences, and almost every question that he asks are questions that I would've asked, had I gone through the same things. So I identified to a great extent with the protagonist, and therefore I had the patience to make it through the middle of the book (a digression about the origin of the universe - which is interesting speculation - but should really be in a different book) to the last few chapters or so which are really quite good insights into the meaning of human existence and worth wading through all 370 pages (and all the typographical errors).

The reason it's replaced The New Revelations by NDW (which had itself replaced CWG Book 1) is that some people look at the format where Walsch says something, and then God says something, and it seems too ridiculous, and so they close the book.

With Beyond the Broken Gate, I feel that this is far less likely to happen, because he starts from a place of greater skepticism than NDW did...and his ideas are generally presented with more detail and sophistication than Neale's. Not that I don't still love Neale's work, but I have to admit that the context is too much for some people to swallow.

So anyways, I loved the book, and will read it again - it's definitely on my top 10 list of books to take to a desert island when there's nothing left to do but contemplate the meaning of life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A thought provoking experience
Review: This was a very unique book. I cannot compare it to anything else I've read. It was a thought provoking experience. I noticed that you can go to serenityhillpress.com and read a sample chapter from the book. Once you do, you will want to read the entire book, it's that good.
