If 80 percent of all disease etc has spiritual roots then reading the Bible (not his book) should be the cure. Something smells a little funny there.

Isn't he a KJV only guy too? Hmmm

Amazon reviews *(yes I sorted them by lowest rating first because I find them the most useful rather than positive ratings that tend to usually just gush emotionally saying "it's all good!")

There is a good review there by " R. Timm "love to learn" " who references James White of "The KJV-only controversy" James White is excellent. It seems Mr Wright is a KJV - only guy! Go figure. Rick Warren wouldn't condone that!

And here is an oft-recommended review of his "more excellent way" by Hampton Keathley IV at http://www.bible.org/page.asp?page_id=1687

"It certainly appears biblical, because he has a verse or two for every point he makes. I actually counted 186 verses quoted in the first 50 pages. But I didn’t find it to be at all biblical because of the way he uses scripture.
What does Wright claim? He says that diseases are caused by specific sins in one’s life. He claims that if a person repents of that sin, then we can pray for healing and the person will get well. If there is no repentance, then there can be no healing."

Hmm... Sounding kinda TBN-esque n-est-ce pas? I wonder what Job's problem was then... Seems to have been left out of the story. Maybe his sin it was having those crummy friends that told him his sickness was because of some hidden sin. Hmm...

If that were true half of Hollywood would be dead. I avoid the TBN types just in case that type of crazy is contagious.

I have a significant list of folks who’ve profited greatly from Pastor Wright’s works and ministry . . . including myself.

Rock throwing seems to be adding yet another potent pastor, it appears.
