The book is excellent, however the seller must be charge the right price for this booklet.
Hope seller reads the book and be righteous and virtuous rather than be greedy in charging exorbitantly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read for a searching Christian.

For me this was a meaningful, external view of Jesus' sermon on the mount. Looking at my faith from another's perspective deepens my understanding of God - an omniscient, omnipotent entity.

This translation has tremendously deepened my understanding of Christ's core sermon. I use it for my own edification and for leading small groups. Its insights are profound. It helps bring unity to all the classic spiritual traditions. A true compass for Soul development. A seriously important read for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Liberating Jesus’s Teaching
Reviewed in the United States on 22 February 2020

What a masterfully written book. The author breaths new, fresh life into an often quotes passage in The Bible. The words attributed to Jesus are liberated from the constraints and bindings radical reich fundamentalists calm to be proper. Truly, Jesus’s teaching is Love. What wonderful liberation this teaching can be appreciated when seen through non-dualistic eyes. Hate has no place in Christian consciousness. Those who would say otherwise are spiritual babies who are well served by the compassion, tenderness, and understanding we would afford any ignoramus of true love, wisdom, insight, and deep understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well done

It's always interesting to see the outsider's view of something you have come to understand in one certain way; to see it through fresh eyes can make it new again. This book is a superb example of exactly that. It is probably impossible to come away from this book without a whole series of new insights, no matter how many times you may have read the Sermon on the Mount or how well you think you understand everything in it.
This book also serves to make the point that some of these Eastern swamis and gurus are scholars and thinkers of the first order. It really is a shame that our view of them often has been tainted by the antics of the charlatans and hustlers that came west beginning in the 1960s to exploit their own religious traditions for personal gain. If that has been your prejudice, Prabhavananda's book will be something of a revelation. Not to be missed.
