review 1: So this book explains everything. It explains why when I've gone to church in the end I feel further from God than when I began. It explains the hypocrisy of those who use their "faith" to justify their politics. There has always been a Third Party, a Third Way a power that is independent. What a relief. We are all slow learners. Over 2000 years to finally get it. Now that Brian Z has helped us see the truth we have no excuse. We must do better.
review 2: I found this book slightly disappointing. I applaud Zhand's ideals, and agree that we need to be peace-seeking Christians, but I found his exegesis was lacking. I was hoping he would have a good explanation for why God is portrayed so frequently in the Old Testament as tribal and warlike. Did God really comma... morend slaughter on mass levels, or did the Israelites simply attribute their desires to God speaking? While I like the gospels, the sermon on the mount, and all things Jesus, I felt like the author basically ignored 90% of the Bible. I saw another reviewer complain that Zhand is all sizzle and no steak...that is pretty spot-on for this book, at least. less
