Title: Lacking, at best
Review: I found this book lacking in spirituality, scriptural insight,and about as "Baptist" as it gets. (I am a Pentecostal!)My church did the "40 days of purpose" thing. I kept wonderingwhat was wrong with me, as I found the book boring, repeatativein the extreme, and pedantic. Others in the church were moreexcited about it. I had to force myself to read through itonce, while our pastor says he's read it at least three times.Many people are impressed by the first sentence "It's not aboutyou". But the whole book IS just that, about the reader, andworse, about the author and his church, his ministry, and thevariety of "40 days of" this or that, that you can buy fromhim.I found his over-use of "The Message" (as opposed to morereliable and precise translations) rather distressing.His quoting of C.S. Lewis to an extreme was not my cup of teaeither.If I could rate this lower than one star, I would.
Is the review positive or negative?
