A good book. Thought provoking at the least eternal truth at the best. I did learn from this book. I enjoyed learning about the symbol of our bodies being seeds as taught by Paul in the New Testament. It makes sense and adds clarity to what is being said.
Even if it is false ( and I am not saying that it is) it is nonetheless well reasoned and ought not to be dismissed out of hand. There is sufficient evidence and reasoning for a man to conclude through reason alone that there is something to these ideas. In other words, someone might disagree and or not accept these words but they could not call you irrational for accepting them.
The atonement as taught in this book deserves careful consideration and prayer. The ideas are deep and meaningful. They are also practical. These are principles you can use and not just debate. I Like That! They are testable.
Towards the end, if I'm being honest, it felt a bit "culty" but I suppose that might just be me. But never a bad idea to remember we are all fallible mortals no matter how many times we have spoken with Jesus, etc. and God is no respector of persons (which the book teaches).
I intend to read it again. It's worth a second read.
