A review by annak2000
Muscle and a Shovel by Jamie Parker, Michael J. Shank
this 0/5 rating is just representative of the writing alone. its got a lot of typos and really ignorant things to say, tbh. for example, referring to someone who cut him off in traffic as a red neck, i just feel like that’s not language an author should use? maybe he was writing it as a text to a friend instead of a book he was actually going to publish.
also, the main idea of writing this “convert story” is kind of crazy to me, that he considered himself “so ignorant” to blindly listen to one pastor, and “enlightened” to blindly listen to another one. it’s just dangerous to not think for yourself, or do your own Biblical research or cross examination. also it seemed as though the redeeming character in his life was his work-friend who converted him in place of Jesus. it also seemed very childish and biased to paint the believers of other denominations in such a stupid light by literally using words like “idiotic” and “ridiculous” to describe them.
the content/doctrine of the book is a whole different conversation that i don’t have the energy for after reading this and is also a conversation that shouldn’t take place over the screens.
