Title: Reading James GARBARINO would be much more valuable
Review: Dobson's approach is simplistic, dualistic and limited. He, like so many, yearns for the "good ole days" which never were for most people in this country, at least those who weren't white males or economically privileged. I've grown up with his kind and the world is far more complex than they wish it would be. They ascribe to all the shoulds of fairy tales and storybook religion, not enlightened, mindful, compassionate, thoughtful spirituality. Dobson, Falwell, Bennett, Robertson, Bauer -- all the same types and perspectives -- these are not the people Jesus would consider spiritual leaders or people to be emulated from my perspective. Any reader would be far better served by the works and insights of James Garabarino, Dan Millman, Geoffrey Africa, William S. Pollack, John Stoltenberg among others who are far more thoughtful and informed.
