The book has its qualities, pacing not being one of them, but I tire of stories that make Christians look bad.
The authors wouldn’t do this with blacks, Jews or Muslims, I’m sure.

I have never received this book. I paid for it immediately, never received a confirmation, shipping info, or the book. I Emailed the seller asking for a refund and still no response. So I filed a claim to get my money back.

Okay, this might possibly be a “me” problem, but the format of the book is too difficult for my narrative linear mind to follow. I’m a firm believer that if one can’t find interest in the book after 2 chapters, then it should be put away. So it’s found a nice resting point on my bookshelf, and one day when I feel like wrapping my brain around something a little different, perhaps it will be brought back out. However, as a reader who needs more, this book just isn’t for me. When reading becomes a chore, like housework, I’ll put it off.

This is a product defective by design. Are you aware that Amazon can interfere with books you thought you had purchased and owned? Ironically, hundreds of purchasers of George Orwell’s “1984″ and “Animal Farm” had these titles, which they owned, deleted from their Kindles by Amazon.
Others had the “Read Aloud” function switched off for titles that they had purchased. A student who had annotated a book lost all his work when the title was deleted. Unlike a real book, a Kindle book has a long piece of wire all the way back to Amazon, so they can jerk you around however they want.
And it’s overpriced. They are using the cheap razor, expensive blades paradigm, except the Kindle ain’t cheap.

I am a kindle user that is visually impaired. I purchased the book not paying attention to the fact the text to speech was disabled. This feature is the reason I own the kindle and will NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE A BOOK FROM A PUBLISHER THAT REFUSED TEXT TO SPEECH FEATURE. amazon is letting me return the book with full refund. You should reconsider your decision to make this disabled, it will turn off all kindle users with my disablity. If there are typos, I am typing blind.
