Summary: Five PLUS stars for this book
Comment: This is one of the best books I have ever read and although the subject matter seems heavy, Sanford presents it in a light manner.
I found this book compelling. It was hard to put it down. It really gets into the idea of the shadow in a way I have not seen before.
I whole-heartedly recommend this book!
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent! A truly amazing book.
Comment: John Sanford brilliantly crafts a study on the nature of evil in our world. Instead of being preachy and trite, he make valuable points about the importance of understanding the origins of evil in a detached manner.
I feel the approach to understanding evil is a necessary and healthy one. We must all see our shadow side and understand that evil in not something we need fear but attempt to understand and analyze.
Powerful and helpful, Sanford's ideas are conveyed in a basic yet deep manner. I highly recommend this book.
It will help the reader to understand others and themselves and the evil which is always with us in our world.

Summary: We need to hear this!
Comment: We today prefer "to believe that the evils of our time somehow do not exist in the human soul...but have political or economic causes, and could be eliminated by a different political system, more education, the correct psychological conditioning, or one more war to wipe out the enemy..." (p. 15). So begins Sanford's remarkable endeavor to explain how denial of negative feelings and attributes can lead to the projection of "villains out there." Explaining Jungian theory in relation to Christian belief is a difficult job (he points out that St. Paul urged people to deny their shadows), but Sanford mostly manages it. The section on theories and theologies of evil was tough going at times, but the chapter that used the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as an illustration made it all worthwhile. This is a remarkable book on a difficult topic.
