Tough Lessons from the Bible Paperback – January 23, 2014

'Tough Lessons from the Bible' by Mack Cordell Moore gets five stars for being both relevant and disputatious. If you are looking for a book with new ideas to ponder and some shocking viewpoints, this book is for you. The author includes a few surprising revelations about his own life which may disturb some but be totally applicable to others. While some concepts may be difficult to digest, the author uses a plethora of Bible verses to back up all his views, and he does so in Christian love.

A very preachy, judgemental lot of nonsense. The writing style reads like the author is trying to convince himself of the absurd ideas he presents as much as the reader. Bigoted, misogynistic, homophobic and illogical. The author throws reason, science and sense out as he desperately tries to fit his carefully selected passages from the Bible ( a 5,000 year old fiction written hundreds of years after the event it describes) to fit his world view. If the god he describes does exist it is by no means a god of peace and love rather a hateful, jealous and evil creation best avoided at all costs. On a positive note this book may offer a useful case study to students of psychiatry/psychology or those with an interest of schizophrenia.
