Critics Review
The Mystery of Individuality: Grandeur and Delusion of the Human Condition examines what distinguishes humans as individuals in twelve chapters that explore spirituality, psychology, sociology, love, and the appreciation of sacred art. Complex social issues including leadership, justice, politics, and crime are also discussed in relation to the essence of human beings as creations in the image of God.

The Mystery of Individuality is a thoughtful, contemplative, and complex work, especially recommended for spirituality shelves. – Midwest Book Review
