Not worth it

Honestly I couldn’t get past the second chapter. I was really looking forward to it because I think it could be an amazing topic. But unfortunately there is nothing inspiring or really even that novel or interesting in this book. In chapter 2 he used Peter’s and Jesus’ conversation in the Garden of Gethsemane to make a biblical case for the death penalty - even if you believe in the death penalty this seems like a strange time and place to make the argument. Following this he uses a discussion surrounding Peter and leadership to blame the use of Ritalin and anti-depressants as the cause of the increase in school shootings in the US. Whether you agree with these arguments or not, they seem at best out of place and not relevant to a conversation of the men Jesus chose as his disciples. In my opinion this book is not worth the time.

Great information

Was a fantastic book to read, but the author repeats him self to much, that is anoyning.
