Ok, here’s the deal with this post.  I agreed to read and review the newly-released book”How Would Jesus Vote?” here on the blog, and I can honestly say that it is probably one of the worst decisions I’ve made in the past few months.

The book is awful.  Simply awful.  I can’t stress to you how amazingly awful this book is.  Do not buy, read, or borrow this book.  I will likely use my copy for kindling in the fireplace this winter.

The authors use the book as a chance to push their agenda.  Scripture is used out of context; presumptions are made about what Jesus might think about today’s issues; they make the religious right look like a bunch of nut jobs.  It was just awful.

I honestly can’t use the word awful enough in this post.

My friend Chris, who was also one of the unfortunate ones who volunteered to read and review this awful book, did a much more in-depth review than I’m willing to do.  Honestly I just don’t want to spend that much time reviewing such an awful book.  You can read his great review (about the awful book) here.

You can go get it here if you still aren’t somehow deterred by this review.  (I only post that link because I agreed that I would.)  Don’t buy it.  It’s awful.  Just awful.

You have yet to disappoint me, Ron… and you didn’t disappoint me this time, either. :-) For some reason I felt compelled to try to tear it apart in more detail, but yeah, it was hideous. It is sad that a man who did as much good as the late Dr. Kennedy would have this book as his last published title. Ick.
