Title: Inspiring
Review: Reverend John speaks boldly and eloquently about topics central to our existence: God, the interconnected web of life, race, gender, freedom. I recommend his book to spiritual seekers or even the mildly curious.

Title: Accessible and Insightful--Like Refreshing, Cool Water for your Mind/Soul
Review: Rev. Crestwell challenges us all--and gives us tools--to embrace our power and responsibility as co-creators of the universe. Even though he often traces the origin of a thought or religious tradition back to its earliest origins to understand how it evolved, he also invokes recent scientific discoveries. Each message is ultimately relevant to modern life and concerns.The book's organization supports a start-to-finish or a pick-and-choose style--allowing readers to gravitate toward a timely message for their own lives. This well-researched, thoughtful book is appropriate for people of all humanist or faith backgrounds who want to embark on a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.Dogmatic writings typically prescribe one way forward without much regard to the reader's perspective or context, whereas more open-minded writings can lack clarity or seem like "inoffensive nothings" that do not prompt purposeful action. Rev. Crestwell masterfully avoids both pitfalls, helping the reader adopt a wide but stable intellectual/spiritual stance.I believe "MY BEST STUFF: 21st Century Sermons for the Dawning of a New Age of Faith, Hope, and Love" will help you solidify your own circling thoughts and live boldly. As Rev. Crestwell says, "Life has a way of teaching us the same lessons over and over again until we learn." Read this book not to memorize some external perspective, but to engage fully with your heart and heed the lessons emerging from your life.
