    <body><![CDATA[I pretty much figured that this book was going to be yet another review of the issues that non-Christians have with Christians. Not a shocking read - most of it just recaps all the reasons I'd left the church in the first place - because it comes off as hypocritical, judgmental, obnoxious, and compl...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35621103">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have mixed feelings about this book.<br/><br/>On one hand, I think it is fabulously important that all Christians are aware of the issues presented in this book and how deeply true most of the concerns are. On the other hand, the book is very, very satistical in its approach to the subject as th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26993221">more...</a>]]></body>
