So while I absolutely agree that acknowledging the power of Spirit manifest in Open Space is quite essential, if only under the heading of informed consent, my experience has been that it needs to be done in a gentle way, and best with a tad of humor. Once folks are there, they can draw their own conclusions. And DOC -- Stuart Kaufman's book is "At Home in the Univerce," and published by Oxford. There is another one before it with a more "scientific" title. The latter is pretty heavy going unless your math and biology is in pretty good shape. "At Home in the Univerce" is quite readable -- especially when he sticks to his science. Then it is truly superb.
