Sheer bunk

The only proof this book offers is of a spiritually deluded egoist subject to extensive hallucinations. His professional life is in ruins, so profits from this fairy tale are most welcome.

Disappointing.. might as well find a book about Hinduism

I was ready hoping this book was related to Christianity but as I was reading, his testimony sounded off. I failed to find the words myself to write a review, but as another reviewer put it, the book seemed intriguing but cant understand why Alexander didn’t mention Jesus’ + the Bible’s role. Why was Jesus’ role so absent during Alexander’s visit? Did he actually sense Jesus but leaving it out to avoid offending non Christian’s? If so, If Alexander was CHOSEN by God for this purpose to share the gospel, then Alexander failed by omitting such crucial information. God would not invite a visitor into his holy of Holies and find himself apologizing for the absence of His Son. Nor would God fail to impart crucial about the Bible. If on the other hand Alexander never even sensed Jesus’ presence, then as a Christian I must doubt his ability to neutrally present facts with accuracy or I must doubt his experience ever happened at all
