"IDENTIFYING GOD" BOOK REVIEW:

by Tienne Weyer

Ok, so I have to start out by saying ... "I HATE and absolutely DESPISE religious books!" I think they are overly opinionated and rather obtuse in nature. For the most part, I don't feel that of the religious books I have read, that they depict the true forgiving and loving nature of God. That said, I love this book!

"Identifying God" by Dr Edward C. Han Sr. starts out by explaining in lay terminology (common language) the different levels of knowledge. This is, in my opinion, the perfect way to explain how we gain both a better understanding of God as we progress in our spiritual relationship with him, but also how we can gain a better understanding of God's words and how/why the meaning of the words can change or evolve as we spiritually evolve in our relationship with God.

Believe me, I tried to find a place where I could say, "This guy is full of garbage" and thus easily throw out the text and move on ... I couldn't. This is the first religious text I have read that opens the door for spiritual explanation and leaves it at that, so that you as an individual can have a better way of evaluating the word of God and applying it or investigating it yourself as needed. It is completely non-judgmental. There are no "right" or "wrong" answers/opinions/ideas in this book. It is taking the complex nature of our spiritual selves and drastically simplifying it.

Although it is written from a Christian perspective, I can see how this book could help even an agnostic person on their spiritual journey. This book in and of itself is a spiritual journey. I really and truly loved the whole premise of "Jdentifying God" and I would recommend it to anyone seeking to understand God, themselves, or bring some simplicity to their current relationship with God that they may find to be confusing.
