Lynn Bridgers's expose on conversion is exquisite - a thoroughly
researched and beautifully written contribution to the psychology
of religious experience and practical theology. In these pages,
readers will discover the rich textures of diverse religious forms
- especially the prophetic, monastic, and mystical. Her book will
surely be as influential as it is impressive.
