At the risk of getting hate mail from the rabid fans of this book--I was underwhelmed. A myriad of problems in this book (and I'm not talking about the theology, people have a right to their opinion) but it would be ALMOST palatable if the foreword was removed. Painfully manipulative. If my sister hadn't recommended this book, I would have stopped right there, but I finished it and I'll never read a book I can't respect again, for anyone. Amen!

I agree, the foreward was terrible and manipulative (obviously so), without it the book would have been better. But, the message was more important than the medium and that showed. The author did not put a lot of craft into the text. It was hard to take seriously.
