Reviews for Shaken
20 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A good book, if read with a good portion of discernment.
PROS
+ Beautiful testimony to the world.
+ Great example regarding the prison ministry.
CONS
- He did not say anything regarding his motivation to write the book.
- He states that he has consultants for his football career, but it would have been infinitely more important to consult a seasoned Christian to have a look at the book before having published it. The book could be easily an excellent book if someone had looked over it. The lack of mentorship becomes apparent when it comes to his fundamental lack of discernment. Approx. 70-80% of the quotations are from problematic teachers (Martin Luther King was clearly a false believer, Ravi Zacharias, Taylor Swift is closer to the dark world than to the light, Mother Teresa was very dark although highly esteemed, Rick Warren does not require explanation, Charles R. Swindoll ...).
- His theology comes very close to Joel Osteen. Although we can appreciate his positive attitude of encouragement, his attitude is also of tickling, of saying what others want to hear. You can read all over the book phrases such as 'God has a wonderful plan for your life', 'God has a purpose for your life', 'God is all about love', et al. He preaches the Good Message, but it is a Gospel light and definitely far away from the real deal.
- Although I agree that a prayer similar to the sinner's prayer can be useful, he commits the serious mistake to lead an unbeliever to believe that this prayer equates to a conversion. It is especially problematic given the fact that he does neither in the book nor in this prayer include anything proactive regarding repentance, which is absolutely essential for a conversion. His prayer includes a 'thank you for your forgiveness', but it should be apparent that this is far from an active act of repentance.
- The book feels a lot like a self-promotion of him and his ministries.
- He employs a significant creative license when retelling the stories of the Bible. The stories of David and Job are decorated with details nowhere found in the Bible. He goes as far as to say that Paul was probably in a prison, where he had to stand in hip-high sewage. This is highly problematic and sheds a negative light on the Bible and on the Lord. It is also apparent from his repeated mentions of Paul (lacking respect in his language, making him appear just as a random guy) and by the exclusive use of the NLT and NIV, that he has not a high view of Paul and probably of Scripture as a whole. He has his heart on the right spot, but there is little holiness.
- He endorses Hellen Keller who advocates the teaching that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ had already taken place. Quote of her: "His Providence must needs be universal ... He has provided religion of some kind everywhere, and it does not matter to what race or creed anyone belongs if he is faithful to his ideals of right living."
