A Wonderful Book

Here All Dwell Free may be an awkward title but it is right on. Mueller Nelson has an exquisite but powerful and compelling way of presenting complex and important psychological information so that anyone can understand and benefit.This book pulls one into that mythical land with devils and angels entirely compatible with any religious conviction because she is addressing archetypal issues which all humankind must address or avoid. Mueller-Nelson convinces one to take the risk of looking at one's dark side and points the way to the many individual and social benefits of taking one's life seriously. Another benefit is the lovely prose which leads one deeper and deeper into one's own inner world. Anyone interested in their religious and spiritual life will benefit and enjoy this remarkable book.
