50 Spiritual Classics   Print 
Written by Wei-Jing Zhu  
Wednesday, 25 April 2007
The series of books "50 ... Classics" is a great way to overview the recommended works in personal development, and learn about the books that has been influencing society. This is my notes while listening to the 50 Spiritual Classics.First a disclaimer: One should be aware of the author's apparently biases against Christianity. This should not stop one from learning the essential insights from all the titles being summarized. In fact, after listening to this work, I am inspired to have "OpenSpirituality" be a site that would accumulate spiritual insights from all world's knowledge that is consistent with the Christian perspective.
