Grateful for Jeff's perspective

Revisado: 02-19-25

Jeff, thanks for all your hard work to put this book together.
I hope many people read this to develop empathy and insight into the many views Chu has compiled in this book. At the end, Jeff apologizes for his attempt at southern accents--I must admit, that didn't bother me, but I felt like I was being yelled at by most of the quotes in this audio book (even when descriptions of the quotations depicted otherwise).

slow start but worth the wait!

Revisado: 02-13-25

honestly, I was about to stop this book since I was so focused on getting to the theology. if that's how you are too, do yourself a favor and stick with the book. it's worth the read/listen!

Disturbingly helpful

Revisado: 03-22-24

A intriguing sweep of Christian history, DBH does a great job at highlighting various snapshots over the years... pretty disturbing to listen to it all at once. I've heard about much of this over the years, but to have it in one source is incredibly beneficial.

So good I forgot it was narrated by virtual voice!

Revisado: 02-23-24

I was curious what an audio book narrated by virtual voice would sound like and was doubtful, but tried anyway. Seriously impressed! it's even better than some voice talent I've heard from other books! I remembered it wasn't a human when scripture passages or years were read in an unnatural way, but other than that, totally fine. Content-wise, the author helped collect a lot of information into a helpful conversation starter. Definitely give this book a listen!

Great book not JUST for"Good Guys"-a wife's review

Revisado: 04-03-22

As a wife, I cannot tell you how healing and helpful this book was for ME! We've been married for years, and yet, for me to hear a MAN summarize and condemn the unhealthy messages I've heard and deduced from American evangelicalism, was nothing short of validating and empowering. I laughed and cried throughout parts of this book. I highly recommended this book! (Even and especially if you've been married for a while!)

Listen to the entire challenging book.

Revisado: 12-02-21

Listen to this book with an open mind and heart. If you need to hit pause, do so, but don't fast forward through the uncomfortable parts. We need to see evil and acknowledge it without looking aside. If you feel paralyzed about what to do and have no idea where to start, this is a great read to form some helpful categories. Be strong and courageous.

Good, but a bit dramatic for my taste.

Revisado: 03-09-20

I felt a bit exhausted listening to the book. I felt like the inspiration came from a place of stirring up righteous indignation. Good information, but delivery felt more tiring than inspiring.
