I have read this book many times in my life, starting from 7th grade, when it was definitely too deep for me to fully understand. Now, at 67, it’s still too deep for me to fully understand, which is why I keep reading it. Although apocalyptic, I find it leaves me with a sense of hope and a deep desire to try to understand the mysteries of faith and the universe.
