1.0 out of 5 stars I felt I was in a Bible study, December 3, 1999

By	Mark Engelhardt (Vienna, Austria) - See all my reviews

I guess I can assume some of the responsiblity for purchasing this book. Larry Burkett is a prolific writer and many of his other books give ample indication to his angle of teaching, or should I say preaching.

To say the least I was astounded and highly annoyed that Mr. Burkett find it necessary to drag God, and his take of Christianity into every aspect of this book (or lets say as far as I could bear to read). Now if that wasn't enough, Mr. Burkett occasionally peppers his text with his personal (I'm tempted to say narrow-minded)opinion about government agencies (describing the EPA as commiting terrorist acts) and political structures (socialism). If I were into stereotypes, I'd say he probably thinks that the U.N. is involved in a world conspiracy to conquer the U.S.

It's a pity because the author seems to have some good advice to give, and I don't mind an occasional quote from the scripture to make a point. Nonetheless this book smacks of zealotry.

Well I guess I was just the wrong reader for this book. Maybe the next time my door bell rings and there's somebody trying to give me a Bible, I can in exchange, give Mr. Burketts book.
