Great scholarly and practical book!
Written by an academic who is also a practitioner of Asatru, I found this book reliable in its background information as well as practical for a beginner, plus with information for those who are already Asatru.

Best beginner Asatru/Heathen book out there!
I've read a lot of crap asatru how-to books because I'm interested in figuring out how others actually practice, and this is not one of those. I'm comfortable in my own practice as a Heathen for about 5 years now and still was able to take away some valuable things from it. Very well done, absolutely essential for those looking to start or even better develop along with this belief system. The author also has an amazing podcast, "Nordic Mythology Podcast" that will teach you much, much more with their many amazing guests.

Amazing Book!
I have purchased and read this book both paper and digital and wanted an audio version to listen to while driving. I am a fan of Dr Mathias Nordvig and his works, and while I appreciate the Narration by David Marantz, I do not feel it did this book justice and would have preferred a narration by the original author.
