Do you recommend this book?  

Yes, without reservation!  

If someone reads this book, they should be aware of the following...  

Frankl is not a Christian and his views are not from a Christian worldview. Though he is Jewish and seems to have held too much of his Jewish beliefs, he, therefore, does not put forward the exclusivity and importance of faith in Christ and the need to depend on Jesus and His divine power in exceptionally trying times. What a do like is his angle on finding meaning in the severest of trials imaginable. Also, his analysis of the human way and how it feeds into our personality deficiencies. Ultimately, I guess, a description of different responses to sin, be it pride or hopelessness. He lands very much in the ability of the individual to choose. Choose to be positive and find a reason to live no matter what the situation you’re faced with. Though inspiring, this ultimately is meaningless if one does not have faith in Christ. So, a good read, but lacking the true power of meaning being found in Jesus Christ and no one else.
