This book paints the disturbing reality of the Christian Church in America. I disagree with the idea that the Church is organized in this way in order for the paid clergy to protect their positions. It's true for a lot of churches, but most are operating this way out of ignorance. I wish he would re-write this text with a less sarcastic tone that would be aimed at those who do want to affect life change and promote true discipleship but just don't understand that they aren't doing it. For the rest of you that love the Lord and a good laugh you will be thoroughly entertained and enlightened with this text.i'm definitely going to read more from this author.
