A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle is by far the most profound and enlightening book I've ever read. During my three years in seminary, coupled with seven years in full-time parish ministry, I've read a lot of books, but none so interesting and thought provoking as A New Earth. It has not only deepened my faith in God, but helped me understand that we really are spiritual beings having a human experience....not human beings having a spiritual experience!
This book was also very helpful to me with regard to understanding the ego (Edging God Out) and the many tricks the ego plays on the human mind. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to broaden their faith in God, become more conscious in their daily life, gain a more accurate interpretation of key biblical passages, and quiet the ceaseless noise (unconscious thoughts) that preoccupy the "monkey mind" in so many people like myself.
It's clear to me that Eckhart loves Jesus and his teachings. He admitted this much in a video interview I watched. Another attractive aspect of this book is that, regardless of a person's religious affiliation, what he teaches has the potential to only deepen one's faith, that is, as long as the reader engages this book with an open mind!
