Title: Re:I am a man and I'm ashamed of this author, March 7, 2002
Product review: Larry Jon Graubner wrote a couple things I'd like to comment on."He forgets that God shunned Esau the wild man and chose Jacob, the mama's boy and soft-skinned conniver."Actually, Esau despised the birthright and sold it to Jacob for a bowl of soup. Esau turned his back on God, not the other way around."Eldredge thinks men need to be warriors and fierce. Yet God told David he couldn't build the temple because he was a warrior. God granted that privilege to David's son Solomon, a philospher king, the wisest man ever."David couldn't build the temple not because he was a warrior, but because he had shed innocent blood. David murdered Uriah so he could marry Bathsheba. This is why he could not build the temple.I don't know how foundational these two points are to your dislike of this book, but you might want to go reread it again.Nathan DeWitt
