Fingerprints of God

I added this book to my wishlist after hearing the story about the book on NPR. Almost two years later, I finally read it. It's very interesting. You get to read about all sorts of spiritual experiences people had, like encounters with God, near death experiences, spiritual conversions... and then an explanation of what's going on from the neurological perspective. There were quite a few interesting stories. The writer shares her own spiritual experience, which wasn't quite as interesting, but relevant. The book comes down to the idea that there's a part of the brain that seems to be involved in pretty much everyone's spiritual experiences, which Hagerty likens to piece audio hardware, and poses the question is it more like a radio, receiving real signals from a real God (some people's radios work better than others) or is it more like a CD player, where everything is just in our heads?
