Moore not only has a catchy title, he has some good writing the back up the title. We used this book in our Sunday School class and enjoyed it very much. It could also be used by study groups if desired. There are excellent questions in the back on each chapter for further discussion. We enjoyed it.

Nothing new here. Some giant leaps in scripture interpretation.

This was a great book to read for our Thursday afternoon Book Club.

The description provided for the book seems to be for Christianity's Family Tree by Adam Hamilton, but the title and book cover image are for Yes, Lord, I Have Sinned, But I Have Several Excellent Excuses. The correct description can be found with the 20th anniversary edition, Yes, Lord, I Have Sinned - 20th Anniversary Edition: But I Have Several Excellent Excuses.

This was the book we read for discussions in my "Sunday School" class (I put it in quotes because it's more of a discussion class than anything). Anyway, the book was dreadful and I really did not like it...way too shallow, super cliche.

This is a good book to help us remember that Jesus came to forgive, love, and save us. It helps the reader identify areas of our everyday life that might be standing in the way of our Christian walk. This book would make for a good Bible study class.

Light-hearted, but addresses heavy issues. More side stories than I like to chase down, but good teaching on resentment, pride, & indignation. That attitude keeps you out of the party, like the Prodigal son's brother.
