Besides a beautiful cover and some insightful thoughts one some very relevant questions, this book has some true faults that can lead some new Christians astray. One such fault is the advice given by Jesus to the question of obedience to an ungodly boss.
We are to give genuine respect to the authorities in our life. So far so good, however that is not tempered with the first command to be obedient to God in all things. Ford completely sidesteps the issue broached initially and answers a tangent issue. This isn't the only place, but happens to hit an extremely sore spot for me since I experienced this very thing not once, not twice, but three times in my work history.
On a different note, I find it quite presumptuous to answer questions for God and Jesus without utilizing the Holy Spirit's voice as well. It just hit a nerve in me. I don't think this was a wise choice for me to review because of this, therefore please take this review with a grain of salt.
