The reading is very interesting but yet simple to understand. It makes you reflect on life from a different point of view. Highly recommended.

Interesting
It definitely made me think. Having left a religious cult the whole bible and god references were hard to swallow because I am agnostic and refuse to believe that lie anymore. Although I believe we create our own reality and therefore our personal legend if we are brave enough to seek out our hearts desire. It definitely had some good analogy and was thought provoking. I just hate anything regarding the bible a book of hatred and lies.

A Treasure!
Just finished this book and realized that my heart wants me to read it again.An easy read which left me feeling very happy, and I am certain I will read it againâ¦and again.The downside to digital reading is that there is no way to show off your worn out dog-eared copies of your favorite works. Were there a way to do so, mine would certainly require tape to hold the covers on!!
