Review of Fulfillment
[Following is a volunteer review of "Fulfillment" by ICA.]
Most people ask deep questions about God, their existence, and their purpose. People tend to go through their daily routine with these questions embedded in their minds. So they try out different religions just to get the answers to these pressing questions, but it all seems impossible to get. They lose their peace, lack fulfillment, and may even end up questioning the existence of God. Fulfillment by ICA tries to answer these questions. It is a book about God and one's personal journey with God, but it greatly questions organized religion. The author refers to God as 'He' and 'She' as he believes that God has a dual nature. Some people call this the divine masculine and feminine.
Fulfillment is broken into 44 chapters, 11 parts of 4 chapters each. Throughout the book, the author raises deep and pressing questions about life, God, and existence in order to emphasize his points. It is a book where the author tries to take the reader through a journey of spiritual awakening without imposing his beliefs on the reader. ICA grew up in a communist environment that tried to take God out of people's lives. He shared his personal story of how he learnt to find and walk with God on a personal level. It is a book that helps the reader see things differently from what they have been told in modern organized religion.
One thing I liked about the book was how the author emphasized his points without imposing them on his readers. Then, he also helped me start to see things from a different perspective. Recently, I have had reasons to question a lot of things about organized religion. This was not necessarily because I don't believe in God anymore or that I don't love him. No, I found out that modern religion has ended up masking God and instead has given us a man-made god with human flaws and tendencies. So reading the book helped me to really see this, even more than I thought I had seen.
The book was well organized, with lots of analogies, which the author used to explain most of his points. But, I didn't really like the author's use of chess in one of his analogies. I don't really play chess. I don't yet understand chess, though I'm still working on getting it. I did see one error on page 95. Apart from that, the book was awesome and easy to read and understand.
I give the book a four out of four stars because the author did a great job of presenting his points in an easy-to-understand manner. In addition, I liked that the author allowed the reader to think for himself. It is a book that, if read with an open mind, will start anyone on their journey to being fulfilled.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves inspirational books. People who count themselves as spiritual but not religious will find this book valuable. But I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who is a diehard believer in any organized religion. Some of the terms and quotes may not go down well with them. In all, it is a good read.
