Julian Barbour is a preeminent theoretic physicist who broke the mold. He was never beholden to a university job, or government or corporate funders; he did his physics on the side. That is enough for me to want to read the book.
He is also a historian of science, and weaves in stories from the lives of famous physicists throughout history. This not only makes for good human interest reading, but also gives some anchors for understanding very difficult subject matter.
There are very few mathematical formulas in the text, but you will not understand much of the physics itself if you haven't studied at least some college-level math. I can't say I understood it all. But to the right readers, I highly recommend this book. The world is not as it seems, and a modern interpretation of quantum physics can help us pierce the veil.

I still have a lot of trouble evaluating ACIM and "Miracle Studdies". But as best I can tell, _The Other Voice_ is a good reflection and amplification of Jesus's thoughts and teachings as scribed in ACIM.

I just recently started thinking there may be something to people's communication with "the other side", after a lifetime of automatic dismissal. I've been reading Rudolf Steiner, a truly great mind of the 20th Century. One of his themes is what he call "clairvoyance" and "occult science".
Ruth Montgomery was a very successful writer, and I don't doubt her sincerity. But most of the predictions in this book don't seem to me to have been borne out. Her Guides on the other side may have simply been mistaken, or not able to communicate clearly enough to her. As the sage Stengel said, "Never make predictions, especially about the future."
But do read Rudolf Steiner, if you can.
