    This is a great introduction to metaphysics and contains plenty of good material that is understandable. If you are new to this area of philosophy, this is the best work I have access to. The author is a process theologian, but this does not keep one who is not from following and understanding the related issues. Issues are well-represented and presented in a concise, easy-to-understand way. I enjoyed reading this book very much.

    Although obviously written with great academic authority, I found it has some woes to it.

    Firstly, I rather detest the monotony of the pros where they choose to incessantly use the term, "she or her" when referring to an object that is clearly arbitrarily non gender or inanimate. One can clearly use the words "it, they, them" etc which is patently obvious and more conventional. In their notations they did explain their reasoning for this approach, but I sense it is merely to conform to the new, politically correct way of addressing a subject in a non biased manner.

    Unless one's faculty of thinking is advanced (as in Shogi, playing a game of Japanese chess), you would most likely become overwhelmed with the long, over reaching, drawn out explanations of the matters in hand. I have written hundreds upon hundreds of documents and articles over my professional career, and if I were to write as they did, I would have ben fired long ago.

    The writings are clearly written from a lecturer's high minded approach and bias, as I have witnessed by other academia. However, in this case, it can lead Christians into deep waters of deception or confusion. Let it be said, that the bible expresses itself very clearly how man's thinking is limited, proud, boastful etc, etc. So we do not need to go there again in a round about way. One either believes in God by faith, unquestionably, or is eternally lost. As for myself, I may not finish reading this book, after struggling with the first thirty odd pages.

    A much better read to me would be, Blind Truth - A Journey for Everyone. Simply written, full of explanations, getting to the point, making one think deeply about to outcome.

    Sorry to be so harsh in this case with my comments, but I felt it justified to warn others for I know many would find it a perplexing read.
