The book starts heavy, likely because of the depth of Shaykh ibn al-Arabi's writing. From reading this book, one can feel that it must not have been an easy one to translate, as the excerpts have an ocean's depth of knowledge. The inclusion of Shaykh ibn al-Arabi's biography is also a huge plus! Overall, a great read, it is a must-read book. - Abeer Arain
