"For me this was not a 'easy' read but more than worth the effort and time. It leads you back to the beginning of Earth and follows through time as life develops and grows and learns - evolves. By the end you can see and understand how we have both mentally and spiritually evolved to the point where we are now and how it has to be if we are to save the environment , learn to live in worldwide peace and love, and survive as a human race.
There have been huge 'jumps' in the past in human 'evolution' in order to survive. With the help of this book we can see that we are on the threshold of another leap forward. Millions are gaining this insight and learning how to do their part - as am I, a 72 year old grandmother. I would also recommend reading James Redfield's other books. Wonderful. Which I will say are 'easier reading.'"
"This book read like a college course book at first, but for once I understood everything! This book describes how different religions and beliefs can prepare us for a higher level of spirituality. In LDS terms it mentions our pre-mortal existence, our purpose on earth and how to prepare for the world to come. The authors describe different ways to tune into our evironment on a spiritual level, and how to expand our mental and physical abilities. I found this book so fascinating. As I keep reading and learn through books, the more my testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is strengthened. I KNOW the plan of Salvation and I know why I am here on this earth. Reading this book has definitely been a source of enlightenment for me.
(PS. NOTHING takes the place of the Holy Bible or the Book of Mormon for me in terms of truth)"
"Untuk pemerhati New Age, akan tahu bahwa tujuan transformasi budaya ini adalah model New Age yang ingin menanamkan paradigma New Age di segala bidang, baik itu ekonomi, budaya, politik dan pendidikan.
Bedanya buku ini dengan buku The Celestine Prophecy, adalah, bahwa buku ini murni non-fiksi. Sedangkan buku The Celestine Prophecy itu adalah buku fiksi, yang nilai-nilai kearifan tersurat dan tersirat di percakapan yang terjadi antara tokoh-tokoh dalam cerita itu, baik itu dalam dialog ataupun monolognya. Meski buku God and The Evolving Universe diterbitkan tahun 2002, yaitu sekitar lima tahun lebih dari buku magnum opus-nya Redfield yang The Celestine Prophecy, tapi buku ini adalah buku yang harus dibaca lebih dahulu, atau kalau tidak pengetahuan seperti yang ada dalam buku ini harus diketahui oleh pembaca, sebelum ia membaca novel The Celestine Prophecy untuk mendapatkan pemahaman lebih jelas lagi. Tapi, tepat juga jika Redfield menerbikan buku ini sesudah novel-novelnya yang spektakuler, jadi bagi siapa saja yang tertari masalah New Age akan langsung menyerbu buku ini untuk memahami secara singkat tentang gerakan New Age.
Buku ini meski bukan sebuah buku ilmiah dan formal, tapi sarat dengan data dan pengetahuan yang cukup. Ketidak formalannya terlihat dari tulisan dalam buku itu tidak ada yang memakai baik footnote maupun bodynote. Buku ini merupakan perpaduan antara Dunia Sophie-nya Jostein Gaardner dengan buku How to Meditate-nya Lawrence LeShan. Dimana buku LeShan ini penuh sekali dengan penjelasan bagaimana caranya menemukan jati diri dengan meditasi, dan buku Dunia Sophie sarat dengan sejarah ilmu manusia. Kedua hal tersebut menggambarkan seperti apakah isi buku Redfield, dkk. Hanya saja kalau dalam Dunia Sophie, yang dikisahkan adalah kelahiran filsafat hingga berkembang menjadi kenyataan hidup, kalau ini adalah kelahiran manusia hingga menjadi kesadaran hidup.
Jika melihat kepustakaan yang dipakai oleh tiga penulis ini, maka akan terlihat seperti apakah mereka dan pola pikir yang bagaiamanakah yang dimiliki oleh tiga penulis ini. Bayang-bayang seperti David Bohm, Darwin, Schuon, Nasr, Henry Corbin, Karen Armstrong, Hegel, Whitehead, Aquinas, Sri Aurobindo, Fritjof Capra, Eichart Meister, Aldous Huxley, dll (h. 250-315) - ini semua adalah kepustakaan yang menyusun buku ini.
Yang kurang dari buku ini adalah, terlalu banyak sub-sub bab, sehingga isi buku nampak seperti potongan-potongan artikel. Meski bahasan sudah sangat mendalam, tapi kesan yang disampaikan terlihat masih cukup mendasar (basic). Dan perlukan membaca buku ini? Jika ingin mengetahui apa yang tengah terjadi pada dunia saat ini, dimana Ashram-ashram penuh, tempat pelatihan meditasi dipadati orang, dan ESQ-nya Ary Ginanjar laris manis, juga maraknya dialog lintas agama juga pluralisme, maka membaca buku Redfield, dkk ini sangatlah perlu. Dari buku ini kita melihat bahwa New Age menawarkan apa yang sekarang sudah mulai ditinggalkan oleh pemeluk agama yang lupa dengan esensi agama, yaitu kerukunan hidup umat beragama. Untuk melihat berbenturan tidaknya New Age dengan keyakinan agama (apapun agamanya!), maka perlu pula membaca buku ini sekaligus beberapa buku yang dianjurkan membaca oleh buku ini."
