My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. Some of it is very challenging to my understanding of theology and reading this book has left me with questions I will wrestle with going forward. I have a great deal of respect for the Buddhist tradition as explained by Thich Nhat Hanh and see many overlaps with rightly-practiced Christianity. His emphasis on orthopraxy seems to me be a necessary corrective on the obsession with orthodoxy (and sheer neglect of practice) that define much of American Christianity today.
