Deep truths spiked!

Although I found Dr. Peck's analogy to have some very deep truths to pond upon, he also makes some profound misinterpretation of the Bible that were impossible to ignore.
I'll build upon the intellect and insight God has graced upon him in this book and simply leave behind the nonsense.
Final note: I do not regret this purchase.

Not bad, but...

I just have differences of opinion, but other than that this audiobook was pretty good.

Excellent content and presentation. I have been a drug alcohol counselor for over 15 years and have been inspired by this lecture over and over again.
