I read through his blog and some of the reviews. What in the world do Christians think they are gaining by telling non-Christians that they are going to hell? I don't recall anywhere in the Bible (maybe you know) where Jesus told off non-Christians (come to think of it, there were no Christians when Jesus lived). Besides his scathing remarks to the Jewish community leaders who were being "stiff-necked" , Jesus treated folks he met ( a lot of sinners) with respect and compassion. Directly I'm referring to an encounter that Mr. Roose had at a bookstore in Lynchburg where a woman followed him to the restroom and proceeded to pronounce him with her personal knowledge that "he was going to hell." Someone once said: "And they will know you are Christians by your love." theheartmom I will read this book… on your recommendation. I read through his blog and some of the reviews.

I got a copy yesterday evening and am about 1/3 the way through it. He is a good writer. He's got my attention. What he did blows me away. Thanks for the review and recommendation. You’re right John.
