Summary: One of the greatest books I ever read
Comment: I came across this book while doing research for religion and psychology. I would like to say that this is a great book. The effect of religion on mental and physical health is approached with a very critical and great perspective. Buy it without a doubt.
Rating: 4
Summary: Very good book
Comment: Koenig's book has the rare quality of being both readable and scientific. He presents credible data showing how religion benefits people's mental and physical health. This approach is quite unlike the anti-scientific rant of anti-religious treatises like Wendell Watters' book Deadly Doctrine, which relies mainly on anecdotal evidence, personal bias, and theoretical speculation. Instead, Koenig uses controlled studies to prove his points. I'd give him a few extra brownie points for managing to show a Christian attitude to people like Watters, whom I find maddening.
Rating: 5
Summary: I was surprised by what I read in this book.
Comment: The research is surprising. What we mental health professionals have been presuming for all these years seems false! Religion, according to this author, does appear to have benefits. I'd like to read more about this area.
