hi there,
there is a god synopsis of the book here :

i really recommend the book. it is fantastically well written and engages the reader in a theological discussion that gets right to the root of identity and in particular of how one identifies oneself with a culture or religion and the personal crisis that are faced in reaching this identification.
texanavenger, i can't believe that your reading of this book has caused so much furrowing of brows. reading is accessing information and should be a learning exercise that expands a persons mind and viewpoint and should never be restricted.
you should encourage the people who trouble you to read the book and then sit down over a beer and talk aboutit with you...otherwise you should use it to beat them toa pulp
