I read this in September, which means I am currently three months, and about ten books behind in posting. But I was busy figuring out that I wanted the background of the site to be black, not white. Yes, that took three months to decide. Or something.

What actually happened, was this book both upset me and also really didn’t bother me much at all. Most of this is because I understood the book to be something different from what it actually is. In fact, don’t read the back of this book. If possible have absolutely no expectations about what this book is before beginning it. Or perhaps have only one small bit of expectation that I am about to give you, the first line of the text:

“The only possible excuse for this book is that it is an answer to a challenge.”

This book is not a book praising Christianity nor supporting it. It is not a book that tells you that Christianity is the only answer, it is simply an explanation of one person’s journey, and his view on what Christianity is. It really isn’t that bad. Don’t fear it. I even really nearly support the text itself, the only thing that makes me sad is how incredibly misconstrued the meaning is in today’s world. If you want an example of that, then I suppose you can go read the back of the book. Just do it after you read the inside.
