The book covers a brief introduction into the various religions listed. The text is very easy to read and the pictures are wonderful.

The book includes an interesting variety of quotes from men from all walks of life. Some are from relatives of the author, others are from spiritual and political leaders from a wide span of time and from many different regions around the world. The author has some pretty insightful relatives. There is probably a quote in here for many different purposes. This is great for a quick glance periodically when times seem stressful or as a straight-through read to gain some general "fatherly" wisdom. The quotes are not sorted or grouped into any categories.

The author presents short teacher/student lessons with a larger amount of time talking about what the lessons are trying to teach. The teacher is Merlin and the student is the young King Arthur with infrequent descriptions of Arthur as an adult. When reading about Merlin teaching Arthur something, I cannot help think about the Disney movie "The Sword in the Stone;" a somewhat playful attitude is maintained throughout the book. The lessons are pretty good and definitely echo, implicitly, or explicitly, spiritual life lessons from Buddhism, Taoism and Christianity. The lessons seem to focus around encouraging the reader to separate oneself from society's demands, attachments and cultural norms.
