It's good.

As a former pastor, I found this book to be thought provoking. If you are adamant on accepting church orthodoxy, this book is still a gentle prod towards possible new ideas and maybe even some answers. I found it highly relevant. In my experience there is an undeniable link between sacred mushrooms and the mystical experiences in Christianity that drove me towards working in church. This is a well balanced book that maintains self awareness about how radical it's ideas are, but sticks to its funs when it should. Regardless of opinions, we should wonder why there are *100's* of psychoactive mushrooms throughout church art, scattered across the globe. This book contends with this reality.
