I had the unique experience of meeting Tucker while I was serving as a Christian missionary in Liberia in 1979. We met on the beach, where I used to run and he used to walk, regardless of the weather. We would sit for hours and chat, and, thank God, my mind was open enough to what he was saying to me. When I ended up in England a few years later, I made sure to get a copy of his book, which was the essence of our discussions. It has been a prized collection of my library, as it marks the beginning of my spiritual reawakening.
Helped Me on my Way
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I read this book 15 years ago and met me just when I needed a further boost in opening my mind. I didn't need to hear about how I had it all wrong. I am coming from catholicism to a more universal (catholic-small 'c') way of seeing life and spirituality. Today it sits right next to "Living Buddah, Living Christ" as one of the pathstones. I thank God for it.
Best book on Zen I have ever read

This book is pure genius. Ideas are clearly explained and contrasted. I learned more about both religions by reading this book than from any other text
Clear, quick, in depth comparison of Buddhism and Christiani
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book is excellent for those seeking to understand Buddhism. Although not long, this book allows a great deal of insight. THe author was certified "enlightened" by Buddhist clerics. Thus he speaks from the inside of Buddhism, not the outside. He is also extremely respectful. His aim is only to make you understand this other religion, and understand Christianity and he succeeds. Wonderful book if you are very interested but do not have months to study the subject.
