Summary: Now everyone can enjoy reading the Bhagavad Gita
Comment: Jack Hawley has done a yeoman's job in translating this gem of Hindu scripture into readable English. Now everyone can enjoy reading about Arjuna's quandaries and Shiva's resolutions. More importantly, perhaps, Hawley's work enables students, theologians, and philosophers to more easily compare Hindu philosophy with Christian theology. His translation clearly sets forth the essentials of Hindu philosophy and how it compares favorably and unfavorably with Indian Christian philosophy. I wish I had had this trasnaltion when I was laboring with my dissertation. An interested reader can complete an initial reading of this translation in two hours.
Jay longace, Th. D.

Summary: The captured essence of the God¿s Song
Comment: It is evident from the outset of this book that Jack Hawley is more concerned with delivering the spirit and meaning of the Bhagavad Gita than a scholarly translation. On my way to India I began reading this book, and when I arrived, I found that there were many aspects of the Bhagavad Gita expressed very simply by Jack Hawley that some of the Hindus didn't fully understand themselves! Although, some of the beauty seems to be lost in over westernization of terms a couple times, it is very good through out. (Sorry, I can't remember the words I'm referring to here...) I think this book would be perfect for people looking to understand the Bhagavad Gita; either as by itself as an introduction, as a supplement to a more scholarly version for the student, or as a refresher for those already familiar with Hinduism.

Summary: Accessible to all
Comment: I have struggled over the past few years to try and make sense of various translations of the Gita. I would need to have glossary in hand and still, became increasingly confused by the language and felt I was lost in finding the meaning of this important piece of yogic literature.
Jack Hawley has allowed me to find the beauty and the message of the Gita through a version that tells the story so clearly, that there is no confusion as to the lessons we are given.Key elements are continuously reinforced so we do not have to flip back for reference. A valuable addition to a yoga library of books and recomended as a first exposure to the famous scripture before attempting a more traditional version.
