Book Reviews of Living Buddha, Living Christ 10th Anniversary Edition
Book Review: A wonderful, wonderful book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this book to anyone but especially if you believe in the 12 Steps of recovery. This book helped me greatly in improving my attitude toward anyone regardless of their sex, religious back ground, race and etc, etc....
Book Review: A feel good book
Summary: 2 Stars
I like the author, but don't agree with all of his conclusions. The Author seems more interested in trying to show how both religions poses a poetic beauty, but never really goes over any real evidence for the idea that these religions are compatible. I think this is an excellent book, if you like the idea of a "feel good" religion. But if you like thinking, but if you like the evidence approached, then don't read it. Book Review: Noble Effort
Summary: 5 Stars
This will be short because I haven't finished reading the book yet. But, the first 4 chapters are very stimulating. I would recommend anyone thinking about Peace and "getting wisdom from more than one religion" and "making an attempt to understand oneself"and "decreasing the suffering of humanity" read this book. Recommended. boland7214@aol.Book Review: Comparative and Inclusive Religion
Summary: 4 Stars
Thich Nhat Hanh offers a concise book on comparative religion from his own perspective. He shows how Buddhism and Christianity might be reconciled to each other, indeed how they may even be interdependent. I applaud the theme of the inclusive, and tolerant perspective, but if anyone is looking for an in-depth discourse on Buddhism, or on the problems of comparative religion, this is not the book for you. Theistically friendly, liberaly-minded persons looking for a brief overview of Christianity and Buddhism will find the book compelling and adquate.
While again I applaud Hanh's perspective, there may have been more he could have done to explore the tensions between Christianity and Hinduism. Additionally, Hanh dwells at length on Buddhist mindfulness, making the assumption that non-Buddhists will fully understand what it is.
Readable, interesting - inclusively-minded; a good gread for undergraduates.
Book Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Roman Catholic I was delighted with the comparative look at our faith and that of the Buddhist tradition. The information and elightenment this little book provided was expanding. I suggest this book for all Christians who desire to see that peace is not limited.
