It can be found on the internet for free, don't need to pay for it. I would never recommend anything to anyone if I have not a direct experience with it. The sad fact is I have been to a temple and felt nothing, I have been to a church and felt nothing, but when I read this book I did feel something. This was the spark that made me try and qualify myself. 

Do what you will with it. Thanks.

Ah ,we've got a book reader on our hands.  Sweet.  I like to read as well, and when I read a good book I also feel things.  That's how I know it's a good book.  I can tell you now that I wouldn't enjoy it, I find autobiographies dry, tedious, and more than just a little bit suspect....but I understand and appreciate that others enjoy them.  I thought we were talking about spirituality though.   Are we actually just talking about a book club, and which books gives us the tinglies?

It seems that "spiritual experiences" need to be defined further. Will post again in a few days defining this concept. Would be happy to get everyone's thoughts on it. Thanks.
