Summary: REINCARNATION EXPLAINED FOR CHRISTIANS
Review: Anyone who thinks of himself or herself as 'Christian' by orientation but who finds popular ideas of Heaven and hell untenable is likely to welcome this book, written by an Anglican (Episcopal) priest. Fr. MacGregor explains that the concept of reincarnation has a long and distinguished tradition in Christendom and that it remains a highly respectable (and totally logical) way of explaining the obvious inequities of this world, while allowing us to escape from the absurdity of supposing that human beings come only once to earth. This book will be liberating for those who, while attracted to Christianity in an overall sense, nevertheless balk at the simplistic 'Christian' notion that we go (finally) either to Heaven or to hell when we die, without opportunity for further growth.

Summary: This book needs an Editor!
Review: Writing should be clear and simple; the writing in this book is neither. It reads as if MacGregor knows he is highly educated, and desperately wants you to know it too. The book is a plethora of intricate, paragaph-long sentences -- verbosity for its own sake. MacGregor basically says nothing once you take the time to diagram and analyze a sentence to find out what his point may be. It is very tiring to slog through even a few chapters.MacGregor's complicated, tedious writing style drowns the book. If you want to read an intelligent, yet graspable, account of Reincarnation and Christianity -- this isn't it. Don't waste your time.
