Review Quotes

"Peter Muller's new version of the I Ching follows in the footsteps of the great commentaries of countless scholars and sages throughout the ages."-- "Richard Rudd, founder of Gene Keys and author of The Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose"

"There is no truer test of an I Ching book than to do an oracle with it. Upon review, I found that this version by Peter Muller--offering unique, relevant wisdom--did not disappoint. I always enjoy syncretistic works that show the universality of spirit; to see the bigger picture we need to look through many eyes. I loved the correlations between Christian theology and Taoism that were made throughout the tome as well as the personal experiences that brought the work to life. I highly recommend this edition."-- "Maja D'Aoust, author of The Occult I Ching and Astrology of the Shadow Self"
