Critic reviews

"Very provocative and very thoughtful - a remarkable book." (Studs Terkel, WSMT)

Mitchell speaks beautifully of spiritual teachings

This book is a gift to anyone trying to improve their spiritual life. I loved the contextualizing. Stephen Mitchell is also very soft spoken which makes him quite pleasant to listen to

thank you

I enjoyed this abridged version, especially because it was read by the author. I plan to begin the entire printed version immediately. As he did with the translation of the Tao de Ching, I am touched and inspired. this begins the restoration of my faith

Sadly, sound quality is poor.

Stephen Mitchell's reading of his eloquent, moving, challenging text is excellent, but the production quality is unfortunately very poor. It would be wonderful if this recording could be remastered to clarify the reading itself.

Love & Forgiveness

Such a powerful addition to anyone's study of Jesus, his purpose and his teachings by his own words, revealed by the lovely Stephen Mitchell. A short book is all it takes. The story is unexpected in its content and delivery of the story matter--- I just finished my third listen, about to start the next.

Stephen Mitchell does it again

Another classic by one of my favorite teachers, Stephen Mitchell. A poignant and inspiring look into the life of one of history's most misunderstood men.
