Reviews

[Scott]

Principles Promises and Powers by Sterling W. Sill is supposed to be an inspirational book. I did not find it inspirational at all. Written in 1973, Mr. Still focused too much on what he thought was the dark side of society. It was either the communists or all the bad young people who dress bad and have long hair and are a menace to society. Jesus loved all people and found the best in everyone.

[Joshua Guest]

It’s a book reflecting the establishment’s response to the counterculture of its time. It has a definite “finger-wagging old man” tone to it. But Sterling W. Sill always quote from such great sources. Worth the read just to circle all his citations and stories drawn from other great authors and historical figures.

Sterling W. Sill's wisdom always enriches me.
