Hosea Ballou's writing is filled with good solid common sense. He uses down-to-earth stories, and everyday language. When you read this book, you feel as though you're having a long conversation with a friendly companion; he may not be as polished as those university professors who write about religion, but you can relax with him and really take the time to think through serious religious questions.
