grab a highlighter and as you read the book, highlight any parts that DO make sense to you, or do really speak to you. then next time thru, do the same thing.....what usually happens is MOST of the text ends up highlighted!!!
more is always revealed. what's cool is even tho you said some of it was confusing or not adding up for you, you knew WHERE you were in the book, what page and the context.
a lot of people find their first true connection when they read the personal stories.
