"What with all the fuss over Jesus and Mary because of Dan Brown and the growing numbers who are suddenly taking religion seriously again it is good timing to see a balanced viewpoint arrive on the scene. Gardiner recently threw me off balance with The Serpent Grail and I have just finished Gnosis too, but this was just what I was looking for.
It's simple, but concise and leads you through a process that you would go through yourself if you had time. I really enjoyed his light humour and easy-to-read style so yes, I recommend it. The Rosicrucian."
