Love Never Faileth: Eknath Easwaran on St. Francis, St. Augustine, Mother Teresa and St. Paul (Classics of Christian Inspiration Series)

Rating:
Summary: The book had almost none of the writings of the saints.
Review: The title of the book displays prominently the names of St. Francis, St. Paul, St.Augustine and Mother Teresa. I was expecting to discover seldom found gems of these saints thoughts. I was quite disappointed to find only the very smallest snippets or their best know words and endless, ponderous ramblings of the author. It was as though he used their names to hook me into listening to him dissect their words in infinite detail.

Summary: Broader understanding of the Christian tradition
Review: This wonderful and beautiful trilogy sheds new light on classic Christian texts and individuals. If you're allergic to Christianity, these books will allow you to view the religion in a more tolerant and enlightened perspective. Easwaran's Eastern take on the subjects will both give Christians a different approach to their tradition, and non-Christians a more accessible outlet in which to understand these traditions.
