[Book] Paths to Immortality

[jprussell]

As I mentioned last time, I'm going a bit out of order here, with my new review of Paths to Immortality by Johann Baptist Krebs, which not only came out before The Rebirth, but was written by its author's teacher.

At any rate, what I found most helpful here was its depiction of a skeptic becoming a believer, not through a sudden opening of the heavens, but through stubborn hard work at the direction of a trusted friend.

Let me know what you think!

Many thanks for the review! I must say you captured the feel of reading it well, and you may be interested to know that all of Krebs' books I have tackled so far (Paths to Immortality, Christianity, Principles of the Bible, and the one I'm working on now, The Freemason) adopt the same approach of taking a character through stages of belief, but each time with variations, as if he were consciously attacking that problem of 'different strokes for different folks'.

Happy to post it, thank you again for the books! And thank you also for the kind words. That is definitely interesting to hear about his different books. I wonder how many folks he was able to shepherd through the process with the help of those books.
