I am a reader of this book for the second time in 4 years.
It is a rare value in the time that we live and I am pleasantly surprized as of any other accomplishment that regards the soul in a world that is about to lose it completely.
Moore's book represents a sort of purifying of one's soul and a ray of hope.
