Ratings and reviews

Dr. Crane provides 16 pages of fairly common advice on how to manage fear. He states on page 16 that "It is no part of the purpose of this writing to preach religion." He succeeded in offering almost nothing touching on reliance on a a higher power excepting his advice to trust Fate in order to alleviate fear. Then with his last few paragraphs he offers this advice which would ring true to practitioners of the 12 Steps of Recovery. This statement is worthy of consideration and makes perusing this short volume worthwhile. "Whatever your conception of God may be, believe him to be your friend." "All the superstitions, persecutions and religious manias have come from imagining God to be our Enemy." "Think! He made you. He has a purpose for you. Believe that He is with you and well disposed." "No one thought in all the world is of more value to put life and cheer and power into a man than the thought that the great Being who made this universe is for us and not against us."
