Helpful modern version of the I Ching provides a fresh perspetive
I have used this new interpretation of the I Ching for many years and found it very useful. The Sorrells' paraphrases of the traditional texts into modern language are immediate and accessible.They describe and recommend a simplified method of casting an oracle that uses six coins -- five pennies and one dime -- that always gives a changing line, and only one at that. Personally, I prefer the traditional method casting three coins of the same type six times, as that allows for more changing lines, or none for that matter. Even so, the Sorrells' texts are just as useful no matter what coin-toss method one uses.Also, I still find it best to compare their versions with others, e.g. the Wilhelm/Baines, as sometimes the Sorrells omit certain possible interpretations of an element, or have only a limited take on an issue. On the other hand, the Sorrells' versions often have new takes of their own that add to the other versions, so these can compliment each other most effectively.Recommended!

Easy to use, Easy to understand
I had a paperback copy of this book years ago, and I regretted letting it go ever since. Now, I have another copy again, thanks to Amazon. This really is an excellent, modern, down to earth interpretation of the i ching that I have found easy to use. I really don't do many reviews on Amazon, but this book has gotten me through a lot of tough times. I'm going through rough times now and I'm glad to have the guidance and advice of this book.

Simple and Enlightening
The title says it all: made easy! I was sick of complicated explanations on how to use the I Ching. Growing up as a child, my mother used to own an easy version too and it was wonderful. This one is even better. Nicely simplified and explained. (Ps* not necessary to buy any special coins or dice).

So easy to use and understand!
My most favorite book on I Ching. I bought one years ago and use it regularly. I just bought another for my daughter because she uses mine all the time.

The best part is the examples
Everyday meanings for the hard to interpret reader of the iching. I ching is confusing to understand, this book helps alot. The best part is the examples. Those examples make the iching easier. I just wish there was a example for every line in the book. They give like 2 examples for each page.
