Code Name God: The Spiritual Odyssey of a Man of Science by Mani Bhaumik Average Rating: "Spiritual autobiographies make for fascinating reading. I cannot think of another genre that I enjoy more.
Having observed that, I always have certain expectations about a spiritual autobiography. The author will have discovered faith from an epiphany. The content will be very revealing about the author and not nearly as revealing about anything else. ..."
