Covenant Review Corner
The Mental Environment (Mostly about Mind Pollution)
Rating: 4 Stars
This is a book not easily able to be put down! However, this is not a book wholeheartedly recommend to any Christian without disclaimer. This is important since the author views himself as a Christian. The author’s opinions on all things are rightfully and efficiently expressed in this work. However, specifically with concern to Christians, the Bible is the Word of God, not merely People’s Word. In regards to the author’s views on faith, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is God, and a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). Disagreements aside, this work contains an astounding viewpoint to issues that concerns every human being. Regardless of personal views on spirituality, politics, media, and science, this work speaks on basic truths that anyone of a mature mind can and should consider.
Covenant Review Corner
[I particularly enjoyed this review, because obviously we have disagreements. They originally hesitated to review this book, saying, “The Independent Reviewer Alliance is a Christian-based organization and does not accept religious debate …,” and I replied with a long letter explaining how I discovered God and Christ, who “makes intercession for us,” through a process of psychotherapy and dream analysis. And I reiterated the words of Rev. Christopher Taylor, who said that this was a compassionate and caring discussion of religion. I invited them to say in their review whether the book was offensive, if they found it offensive. So I am very pleased that they found redeeming social value in this book, in spite of our disagreements. — Bob Gebelein]
