Thank you for Jason Byassee's honest comments on the books. Of course, much of what he says is true of many sermons and literature that come from Christians. All I can say is this: When we start "applying" scripture to life principles and situations, more often than not we end up distorting scripture. From what I understand of the Word, it's intended to be obeyed, not used. And certainly not to be taken out of context.
