4.0

Never read Dante's 'Divine Comedy' nor did I ever think of it as anything but one of those boring and difficult to understand books. However, Father Paul Pearson managed not only to give sound spiritual advice based on Dante's Inferno but I wouldn't mind reading the Divine Comedy in its entirety (with some Cliff notes on the side :) First I was introduced to a short background of Dante and his writings, then the context of the story and then using the different Cantos (not all of them) Father Paul explained the meaning of what Dante saw and what the results of those sins mean in our daly lives. I finished the book with lots of post-its on it. It was a really good read for a believer like me and even if you are not I'm sure you will still enjoy it.
