If you are hurting, have doubts, are ill. I strongly recommend this book. Even if you are feeling fine. It covers so much material. No, book has even come close to helping me draw closer to God (Other than the bible itself). Bob Russell is an extremely gifted writer. This book is a must have for any Christian. It can be used for personal bible study and for classroom study. The book covers a broad range of subject, that are dealt with in the book of 2nd Corinthians. This man is truly blessed from God.
