Describling the book, Sue Lake, from the B.B.C. in London, has said: "The anecdotal examples that Shaikh Tantawi gave clarified complicated concepts about Islam, particularly about the psychology of human beings, our weaknesses, our relationship with the cosmos, and therefore the need to follow the Sharia in order to develop our inner faith and dependence on God, and therefore evolve in the best possible way during our short time on earth."
