Reviews

[Michael Laflamme · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally, theology and philosophy with a clearly modern American twang. It is helpful to meditate on deep stuff with examples and metaphors that are clear, down to earth, and almost Brooklyn. Morality needs to be as clear as graffiti for the average American, and I'm a bit below average. Great writing.
