The author, Clif Taylor, recalls how he was inspired by reading Neale Donald Walsch (of Conversations with God fame). And the first few chapters of this book follow that model with Jesus answering questions. But from Chapter 5 on, the answers are seldom attributed to any specific source. Taylor says, “From this point forward in the book, I no longer asked anyone specific to answer my questions. I simply thought of my questions, asked them and most answers came to me inside my head without the single tone of voice I had heard in the earlier chapters.” As a writer I believe this. Writers picture situations for characters and go to bed at night not knowing what will happen. We awake the next morning and we do know. Why should the use of inspiration be limited to novels and poetry? Why not aspire to a life built on the premise that truth is within us just waiting to come out?

Certain conclusions follow that: 1. we have a personal responsibility to others, 2. we cannot horde knowledge, 3. education--asking questions and finding answers—is everyone’s task, not just that of schools and governments. This book is very readable, not dogmatic and stimulates thinking and discussion. The author took nine years to write it and the page at the beginning of over a hundred people he thanks show his connectedness to others. And there are some little things that are very pleasing” “Those who do not accept the word ‘soul’ should replace it with ‘the knowing you have of yourself’—your core, so to speak.” “(Jesus says) The purpose of both my birth and death was to prompt wonder.”
