Ridiculously AWFUL book. I only read the first four chapters and had to stop. I'm a Christian, but this book is so off-the-charts ridiculous that words are hard to find to describe it.

In just the first four chapters, the author has numerous "visions" and one-on-one discussions with God and Christ, not to mention the constant "miracles" he describes in flowery language, all punctuated with ever-present exclamation points. It's like reading the transcript of a bad Southern-style tent revival. He manages to run several miles in the blink of an eye. He leaps over high walls. He becomes invisible to government authorities. His father is completely cured of cancer after one evening of prayer (and yet, mysteriously dies two years later... of what, the author doesn't say, oddly enough).

Books like this are why non-Christians and regular Christians think evangelicals are insane. Maybe this is someone's cup of tea, but it certainly isn't mine.
