Title: A Blow Struck for Honesty
Review: Feazell is not afraid to refer to the historical Armstrongite Worldwide Church of God as a cult. He is also quite candid in his evaluation of its now deceased leader, Herbert W. Armstrong. Feazell's analysis of Armstrongism and how it departs from Christianity is excellent. As a former member of the WWCG, I found it refreshing that one of the current WWCG leaders is able to publicly confront these issues. This may help the many WWCG ministers and lay members who are not able to do the same.From the theology expressed in this book, it is clear that Feazell has over-reacted to the ungrace of Armstrongism and has swung in the direction of a "wider hope". He espouses the weak and minority viewpoints of inclusivism and, from other sources, post-mortem evangelization. On the topic of grace, he seems to have let passionate catharsis displace careful exegesis. This is an excellent read for current and former WWCG members.
