This is the book I needed when I first left Christianity. I stumbled through several religions and practices, knowing Christianity wasn't what I needed but unable to put in words what I was searching for. Turns out, what I needed was this - ritual, community, ways to mark the passing of time, a "spirituality" not necessarily based in anything spiritual but in moments of intentional connection and reflection. 

I listened to this as an audiobook while working, and I almost wished I hadn't because there were many places I wanted to take notes. Casper himself is not religious, but he takes religious rituals I'm familiar with from Christianity and turned them on their head. I was introduced to Lectio Divina as a way of reading the Bible, but Casper hosts a whole podcast using Lectio Divina to read the Harry Potter books, and apparently listeners can get a lot out of it. I'm considering trying it with some of my most-reread books.

This book isn't long, but it feels like one you need to take notes on. It's packed full of ideas and information, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to read this again. Possibly several times. Obviously I won't be sure until I read it again, but it gives the impression of one of those evergreen books that will give you something new every time you read it. Plus, what's there spoke to me - it feels like there's things in this book that are what I've been searching for. 

Final verdict: Read the book. Especially if you identify as any sort of spirtual seeker.
