The Varieties Of Religious Experience: A Study In Human Nature
The Varieties Of Religious Experience: A Study In Human Nature

$9.75
For a 500-page book it says remarkably little. Most of the chapters are not central to what he wants to convey. To quote a few passages from the original edition as scanned by Google:

p. 427: ... non-mystics are under no obligation to acknowledge in mystical states a superior authority conferred on them by their intrinsic nature. ...the existence of mystical states absolutely overthrows the pretension of non-mystical states to be the sole and ultimate dictators of what we may believe.
p. 519: What the more characteristically divine facts are, apart from the actual inflow of energy in the faith-state and the prayer-state, I know not. But the over-belief on which I am ready to make my personal venture is that they exist. The whole drift of my education goes to persuade me that the world of our present consciousness is only one out of many worlds of consciousness that exist, and that those other worlds must contain experiences which have a meaning in our life also; ... the total expression of human experience, as I view it objectively, invincibly urges me beyond the narrow `scientific' bounds.

The first quote says only that religious experiences are private and science cannot deny their reality.
The second quote says that "divine facts" exist, and the scientific view is too narrow. That's just the usual religious veiw.
He fudges on whether he thinks God exists, and what that God might be. My main objection is to the book's outdated content and to the time it takes to absorb that content.
The 20 or 30 anecdotes he quotes are far more than what's needed to make his point. He had to fill a many-hour lecture series.
Someone should produce a 100-page Reader's Digest version so we could deduce what he really believes. I have too many books waiting to be read to wade all the way through this swamp.
He must have been very reluctant to oppose his minister father, and he might have gotten the same prolixity gene as his brother, the writer of 200-word sentences.

I didn't care for them. Now I have a brand new box that I don't want plus over half of the box I opened. I use to love the coffee at our local Gloria Jean's Store but they closed so I was excited to see that Keurig carried Gloria Jean but I was disappointed.

I subscribed to this publication approximately 4 weeks ago. I have only received one issue (it is supposed to be delivered daily) and it was nearly 2 weeks old. Since that time, it has not been delivered again.
