I love the way Mr. Brown identifies the difference between religion and spirituality.  While the spirit is the way a person lives their lives and follows the teachings of Christ, religion is more about ceremony and a coming together to hold each other accountable for living a moral life.  The entire book is thought provoking, such as mentioning how the Bible does not mention the life of Christ during his adolescence, which I knew on a subconscious level but never thought about cognitively.  While the Bible was not excluding those years of his life because they were not deemed important, only that the last three years of his time on Earth were what Christianity was built on, therefore more focus was dedicated to those years.  He was spot on when he said that we were not designed to live a stressed, overburdened life, but that we were meant to share that burden with God and allow him to carry half for us.  This is an important book for anyone, not just Christians, to read and enjoy.
