edit data

Jeff was an officer in the Salvation Army (a pastor of the church and administrator of the social service programs) for eighteen years. Now he drives a forklift. Go figure.

He and his wife have two children (one of each) and a dog and a cat. Most of the time the four of them get along with each other.

Obviously I’m biased about this one, but I think it’s good. It burns.

Some of it (not all of it) might be good advice. Much of it was dismissive of women. All of it feels fake hollow knowing Driscoll’s history of spiritual and verbal abuse, manipulation, and unethical business practices.

Jeff and 354 other people liked E's review of Little House on the Prairie (Little House, #2): "Okay, it's a great American classic, I realize that. I read it for the first time in third grade because the pioneer-go-forth-and-push-westward philosophy is a central feature in the proud American mindset and heritage. But it's for that very reason " Read more of this review »

There’s a terrific story in here, but it’s not very well written. Internal inconsistencies. Sloppy, rushed ending.

Jeff’s Quotes

“Annihilation itself is no death to evil. Only good where evil was, is evil dead. An evil thing must live with its evil until it chooses to be good. That alone is the slaying of evil.”
― George MacDonald
