The Introduction includes this story:

"One of the great prophets of the modern human soul was Carl Jung (1875-1961), the founder of analytical psychology.  Even as a boy he had prophetic intuitions, although for many of these he did not find language, or the courage to speak, until many decades later in his life.  As a twelve-year old boy in Switzerland, walking home from school one day past Basel Cathedral with its shining new spire, the young Carl Jung became aware of an image rising up from the unconscious.  He was so horrified by it that he tried pushing it back down.  But it kept insisting on coming forth.  When finally,as he explained years later, he allowed himself to name what he was seeing, he saw that above the spire of the cathedral was the throne of God.  Descending from the throne was "an enormous turd" that smashed into the spire and the walls of the cathedral crumbled.  

We are living in the midst of the great turd falling.  In fact, it has already hit the spire, and the walls of Western Christianity are collapsing. "

You know with a beginning like that, this should be a good read!
