Impressively honest.

I think this is a very important book for many people, pastors and laymen alike. It is especially significant coming from a pastor of such a large church who I'd assume has intense pressure of putting up a front. What we receive in this, however, is the gift to be human and not mindless robots that interact with each other. This is not a book to come to if you're trying to understand what the Bible says about the topic of being real or anything like that. To be honest, there are very few biblical references and this is not the intended purpose of the book. It is helping to unlearn many elements of the Christan culture that are unfortunate and need to be brought to light/altered. While many of these would hopefully just be understood and thus making this book unnecessary, our state of church in the United States has created a situation where this is not the case. I would highly recommend for pastors or laymen on the verge of quitting the church or quitting their faith. There is hope for real signs of life within the church still. All is not lost.
