Customer Reviews

Every Christian should read this book

Duncan's sister loaned me this book. It has taken me several years to get to the point of reading it and I am glad because I wasn't ready until now. Duncan's insights and thoughts are provoking and life-changing. The most significant, yet recurring thought in this book is that we are NOT doing what Christ tells us in the NT. Even those of us who are well-meaning need to examine our motives and our actions. Duncan explains this in a way that is illuminating. I love the story where Duncan accompanies a friend and his family to the country to see a cross that has been erected. The Christian father of Duncan's friend is torn by the image and wants someone to pay. Duncan points out that even the best of us sometimes do not understand. Jesus HAD to die on that cross. Read the book, it will change you. Surely the Holy Spirit is working through Duncan.

A Tour de Force! La Piece de Resistance! Incredible

Oh, Duncan, youre book speaks volumes about the inner butey of youre soul. It's like a pristine window into the center of youre ever-deepening mind's eye. Every time I open this masterpeace, the cup of my soul is refilled from the bountiful reservoir of youre knowleje. You and your incredible understanding of the inner-workings of my eternal being will never cease to amaze me. I can't begin to express these feelings in words, let alone vocal thoughts.

New Light

This book shines a new and very bright light on Christianity. It made me have a great awakening about my views and ideas about Jesus and my life.

One of the more interesting views of religion.

This book has inspired me to change the way i have been living. Duncan, a single 45 year old english teacher, is able to put a new spin on religion throughout his humerous book. I enjoyed it greatly and hope you will take the time to read it too.

masterpiece of modern literature

This book is an inspiring piece encouraging us to look at god in our lives completely different. It moved my life and I hope it will yours.
