Thought provoking and a true poetic read. Unique layout as far as the chapters go. Probably one of the most interesting books I have every read. Music fans will love this. Musicians David Crowder and Mike Hogan penned a masterpiece.

While, I admit to trudging through at times, there is no denying this work came from the authors' hearts after the sudden death of a dear friend; and it all came together for me on pp. 216-238. It's Crowder, so you have to expect brilliant quirkiness: both in terms of layout and content. But it works, because in true Crowder (and Hogan) form, it all comes back to Jesus, specifically Jesus as the suffering, servant, Savior.

I finished on the first day of 2021; reflecting on 2020 seems to have given a renewed relevance to the content, especially the section taken from an interview between Joe Carter and Krista Tippett. I recommend you listen to the interview here https://soundcloud.com/onbeing/joe-carter-the-the-legacy-of as you head down the home stretch of the book.

I don't think I was really in the right state of mind to read this book. I haven't grieved for anyone but my cat in a while and couldn't connect to some of what they were talking about. And then they spent A LOT of time in the middle presenting all the research they did about man's view of the soul through history, all to end up at the same point they began. An interesting read, especially if you're wanting to know more about the great soul debate through time, but not especially terrific.
