Beautiful story. Adjective rich descriptions of the people, land, scenes, and events that allow the reader/listener to see the story and almost feel like they are watching the story in real time.

Terrifying

Revisado: 01-20-21

The best non-fiction can be infinitely more scary than the best imaginative fiction.

Likely that is because the monsters in non fiction often look like us and live among us. And that makes them all the more menacing.

And this is one of those non-fiction books.

100% recommend in hopes we learn lessons to rebut the terrible doctrine that fills these pages.

Outstanding

Katherine Stewart is an outstanding investigative reporter, and her writing/storytelling is sharp and keeps the reader coming back for another chapter.

I had already read her more recent offering "The Power Worshippers" and was looking forward to this one also. And I was not disappointed.

The only thing I would say about either of her books is they are not for the faint of heart. She exposes some things in politics, religion, and education that are simply disgusting (sad, evil, horrible, etc. etc.). Both of her books left me wanting to soak in a vat of bleach and scrub with a Brillo pad to get the filth off of me (in other words, they are both excellent and well worth the time to read or listen to).

My only critique would be with the narration. The narrator makes several unforced errors in pronouncing common (famous/newsy) names or references. A handful of standouts I remember off the cuff would be
Jay Sekulow is pronounced Sek-e-low,
Betsy DeVos turns into DaVose, and
Antonin Scalia becomes Scal-E-ah.

Also, the OT bible book of 2nd Kings gets the presidential treatment by becoming "Two Kings".

Even more annoying than the easy mispronunciations is the act of putting on voices for reading the featured quotes. The female narrator assumes a deeper, bass register when reading quotes from guys. She also assumes a sing-song, higher pitch when reading quotes from children. It all seemed to detract from the story. From Katherine's text I know when she is quoting a man or a kid as she is careful to identify her sources through the book, and I don't need the voice actor doing a forced attempt at making me think someone else is talking.

Amazing book

Revisado: 09-01-20

This was both a fantastic and terrifying ride to the dark side of Christianity.

Thank you for your honesty in sharing your own story in the medical chapter and the exposure of the interwoven nightmare of evangelicals.
