Somebody Please Reprint This Book!

This book deserves to be made widely available again. Osborne anticipated much of the findings of Eva Pierrakos, A.H.Almaas and Ken Wilber. To quote from p. 25, "Using several hundred [Christian small] groups...we began to discover...First, that a person can commit to God only that part of himself that he understands and accepts; second, that a person cannot pray effectively until he deals with his emotional barriers; third, that most of these barriers are largely unconscious...." Osborne goes on to describe how Christian small groups can go far toward disolving these barriers.
