Helpful Score: 2

I have read this book twice - several years ago for the first time. It was given to me as a gift and the first time I read it I was a new Christian could not finish it. I could not or did not want to think about human evil the way it was described in this book. It was too heavy, too "real" and too sad for me to comprehend. I felt the evil and negativity of the case studies reviewed overtaking me. It remained only half read for over a decade, but sat on my bookshelf beckoning me to begin again. The second time I read it was just last year as a much more spiritually mature person. I found it to still be quite sad but also quite profound in it's insight and teachings. Dr. Peck is an excellent author and knows what he is talking about. I commend him for the courage to address to truly complicated issue.
