so terrible, it was hard to give a single star

Wow, I was trying to find out a little about the man behind the anti-masking/anti-quarantine orders in Michigan. I find out he is a Chiropracter and go on his webpage and discover he has written a Christian parenting book. I listen to it and WOW was it horrible.

NOT Christian, very secular philosophy (which intelligent people realize doesn’t work in real life) of thinking about something hard enough and you will get it. The main thing he talks about thinking about is money. And the only time he mentions God is when he says “doesn’t God want you to be successful/rich/etc.” (the answer is NO--God wants you to love Him with all your heart, soul and strength and love your neighbor as yourself. God does NOT promise riches, success, health, wealth. This is one of the slickest lies ever told by the health and wealth gospel types. What God promises is joy, peace, and eternal life, despite hardships in this world. What God says about this life is that it brings suffering.

This is also NOT a parenting book. He only discusses children briefly, with the main goal stated at the beginning of the book is controlling their behavior so they will be “successful” (defined as rich, athletic, or powerful politically, and he gives star athletes and Donald Trump as examples). The only concrete thing he says about parenting strategies is when he compares parenting to dog training because you need to show your kid who is “boss” like a famous dog trainer does with his dogs.

He has zero credentials in the parenting realm, and zero in the Christian philosophy realm, and it shows in this book. In fact, it is very similar to the book “The Secret” which is decidedly not Christian. Don’t waste your time.

Really interesting extended podcast

Revisado: 07-12-20

This was quite interesting and it was great how in-depth his investigation into this crime went. My only critique was that my husband and I were trying to listen in a road trip and the variation in volume and the background music was sometimes difficult to deal with over the cars speaker system. It might have been better using earbuds or something. However we both were intrigued enough to keep listening.

A fresh look at the Lament psalms

Revisado: 07-12-20

A biblically sound look at the practice of lament. Timely book, thoughtfully written. I would recommend to anyone living with sorrow and difficulty (so, really all people)
