 Not as I expected January 29, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The book was much too vague. I expected lists and concrete ideas, not statements like "I think it would probably work to:" or "Some people have told me they have". I would not buy it again. Not enough information for the price.
basic, lacking in depth of subject March 10, 2002
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The book is interesting but too basic. The book could possibly be of use for someone who is new to the subject. Benson only touches on material in a overview. The book would have been a better value, if he expanded on the subjects that were addressed. Benson has written many other books that are worth buying, this is not one of them. Read Benson's other books to better understand the subject material, they covered their respective subjects in much more detail.
 Sparse, but useful July 24, 2000

I agree with those who would have liked more details in some areas, but still found the book helpful. It's designed as a starting point rather than as an encyclopedic work. It's really a must-read for anyone considering setting up a retreat, because it covers all the major areas.After some attention to each of the major areas, you'll want to start going into more depth. There are other resources available to assist with that. Joel Skousen comes to mind.
 Ragnar's Worst November 12, 1999

I have I library full of Ragnar Benson, this is unquestionably his worst. The book is very short, and only barely touches on a range of subjects. It reads like the table of contents of a much better book! Don't discount Ragnar though, he has a lot of great books out, this just isn't one of them.
Not much new here July 2, 1998

Ragnar Benson is at his best when giving practical advise mixed with pragmatic philosophy. This book unfortunately has little in the way of practical advise or thought provoking ideas. Much is a rehash of earlier work.
