Reviewers

A (cyber) friend wrote a book Through Mud and Barbed Wire, about two theologians who fought on opposite sides of WWI. A reviewer wrote that the book was "a timely reminder of the utility of war" -- but the reviewer had dropped an "f". It was a timely reminder of the futility of war! OBSERVATION: Reviewers seem to be hit and miss. One well known reviewer gave one of my books 10/10. Another destroyed one of my books, by giving away electronic copies free. Authorities stopped him, but it was too late -- the horse had bolted. This book (on the right) might be of interest to theologians. Having read it, my main critique was that the author might have read too much current thinking back into the two theologians covered. But that could make it more relevant, too.
