Summary: Good but not for all
Comment: This is a very well done piece. Despite what some might think this book is NOT trying to Christianize traditional Chinese teachings. I found it to be just the OPPOSITE! The authors use the teachings of their childhood (mostly Toaist and Zen teachings) to explain eastern christianity. The Christianity of the Chinese and other eastern people is very different than that of the west.

For western Christians who find their church's teachings no longer speak to them this is a wonderful book. I find myself very influenced by eastern teachings, they speak to beliefs I have always held and had no name for.

If you are easilly offended or feel that no religious teachings should ever be meshed this book is not for you. As the authors would say, "teachings and dogma are only useful if we are not attached to them. As soon as we become afraid to change them, examine them, or modify them they become a stumbling block." So for those who are more interested in finding a universal truth than blinding clinging to teachings this book will truely be a "taste of water".

Summary: A thoughtful look at dual practice
Comment: As more and more Christians are interested in Eastern practices and vice-versa, this little book provides some valuable insight into the key issues of a potential dual practice. I am very glad it is back in print and would highly recommend it.

Rating: 5
Summary: An concise exploration of a complex subject
Comment: One wonders if the confused lone critic who is ranting against this beautiful book has read more than its title ... sad how some individuals feel the need to vent their own spiritual anger in the most inappropriate places. "A Taste of Water" is refreshing inspiration for anyone who is serious about exploring the possibility of a spiritual path that encompasses Eastern as well as Western religion/philosophy. I would highly recommend this book, and yes, it can be found by those who know where to seek ...
