Summary: Great Little Book for Seekers to Begin the Journey
Comment: This is a wonderful little book giving a brief overview of a number of worldviews - skepticism, cynicism, nihilism, materialism, relativism, atheism, pantheism, judaism, and Christianity - seeking to show Christianity as the True worldview. The literary technique the author uses to achieve his goal is the allegory, much like John Bunyan or C.S. Lewis before him. It is a fairly quick, easy and enjoyable read. However, it is not a deep, wordy philospohical text - in fact, that is what makes the book so enjoyable and useful. Sure, there are books out there that deal with comparing and contrasting worldviews in much more detail, but those are not widely accessible to indivuduals who are just begining their journey seeking the truth. This book is a great roadmap to begin such a journey. I recomend it to one about to embark on the journey of a lifetime. It makes a great gift, especially to recent graduates.

Summary: Wonderful for the seeker
Comment: This is a book you can give to anyone who is begining to wrestle the claims of Christianity. A wonderful, non-threatening read that is enjoyable to pick up and read as a novel. Written in the same vain as a C.S. LEwis or Tjolkien. Enjoyed thoroughly.

Summary: A Journey through the journey
Comment: As I sat down on to this book on a cool, crisp, winter friday night, and began reading the journey, I began my own personal journey. This 128 page book went by so fast I think my tea didn't even have time to cool down.
Kreeft's writing style is superb. His vast amount of knowledge on the subject is written for the scholar and the layman to enjoy. In this day and age, there is a lack of philosophers who are also good communicators. Dr. Kreeft happens to be one of them. This work is a prime example of how the Christian mind can so skillfully weave allegory, imagination, and deep concepts all together into an engaging story.
The Journey is crafted after Dante's work, which is crafted after Virgil's work. Kreeft is the journeyman, and Socrates is the guide. Kreeft, being the expert in Socratic method that he is, takes a trip down 'history of philosophy' lane, constantly questioning us and forcing us to question our own preconceptions. Using wit, creativity, and logic, the reader is drawn into the debate that the traveler engages in along the road, which inevitably leads to Jesus of Nazareth. C.S. Lewis even shows up in this book. This 'spiritual roadmap for modern pilgrims' seems to have it all.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who seeks truth. Skeptic beware! This may help show you what lies at the end of the rainbow. This fellow pilgrim loved the book.
