Religion

This book was a good read & laugh, just goes to show you what's going on in some of our high profile black churches.

Best book written since The Bible

This is the best book written since The Bible (NIV only, the King James version is a little better than this book). Not only is he named after a sandwich, but Mr. Armstrong (or "Stretch" as he is known by intimates) is one heck of writer. Reuben Armstrong is a man of courage and tenacity. He exposes the ugly underbelly of crooked preachers at the same time he exposes the ugly world of poor grammar. Although not exactly polished, Mr. Armstrong's prose is heavenly...much like the sandwich that carries his name. In the words of my personal friend Samuel Jackson: "Enough is enough! I have had it with these money flippin' snakes in this money flippin' pulpit!"

Snakes in the Pulpit

The author courageously speaks out about the lavish lifestyles and hypocrisy of several televangelists in this book. While some would defend th lavish leifestyles with out of context scriptural references, as an ordained minister myself, I know that our behavior as ministers can cause people to "stumble." Ezekiel 34: 2-4 speaks about shepherds who only take care of themselves, and do not take care of their flocks. I applaud Mr. Armstrong for his courage to warn the Church of our judgment. I Peter 4:17: "It is time for judgment to begin in the family of God."

Tell it like it is!

Reuben Armstrong is phenomenal! He writes a truth be told tale of well known Pastors or "snakes" as he call them. Armstrong also educates you on the scripture and refocuses your attention to the importance of the holy word. I could not put this book down from when I first picked it up. I highly recommend this book to the believers and the non believers. It will definitely make a change in your life. Rukyyah J. Karreem-reviewer 5/5 stars

Excellent Read!

This book has been long over due for some time. I am so greatful that Mr. Armstrong had the courage to say(write)what so many people have been thinking, but, not the courage to say out loud!
