Book Reviews of Serve God, Save the Planet: A Christian Call to Action
Book Review: Excrement!
Summary: 1 Stars
To borrow an adjective from "Dead Poets Society" that is appropriate for this book. Complete "excrement" is how I would describe this waste of trees (oh the irony). The author loses me when he rants on in the first 4 or 5 chapters on his assumption that Global Warming is fact. Well, news flash for you there doc, but Global Warming is not fact, but merely a theory posed on shaky science.
And from a theological standpoint I'll merely pose the fact that man was not made to worship the earth, but merely care for it. While I certainly was interested in how to obtain a cheaper electric bill and to find reasonable ways to conserve in my lifestyle I would simply say that Dr. Sleeth is a few fries short of a happy meal.
It insults my intelligence when a medical MD like this comes across as arrogant and angry in his writing and prose, and tries to make the reader feel guilty for living a lie of modern consumption. Why should I feel guilty doc? I honestly don't think this serves a positive purpose within the church. And if anything, this book does more to divide us, then to rally us together as Christians.
Simply put - don't waste yout time on this piece of excrement.
