I found this book with the inscription saying it was a gift from my father-in-law to his dad. I never met his dad as he died in his 60’s from brain cancer.

So, I think I’m trying to be generous for them.

It was okay. It had some good points that were worth thinking about. But it’s not entirely helpful. I think it has a small view of God and too big a view of man. But I think it comes from a place of good intentions. It didn’t make me mad … like some other books I’ve found on our shelves from family libraries. (Except the weird analogy re: Rhodesia … blah. I think it also lacks grace and tends to condemning rather than helping.)

Wouldn’t recommend it, but helped shed some light on some family history and thinking.

At the time I thought it was good. I would say troublesome now.

Not quite finished reading this book. Think it's a good book to help others evaluate where they are at in their journey so far and what they might be overlooking.
