"...it’s possible to read and even enjoy a book without subscribing to its tenets."

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm an atheist and have enjoyed the first 4 books in the series. Although, the story is moving a bit slowly & some of the character development seems weak, something like a Tom Clancy experience.

I heard the first books in the series on tape, and then read a few --- and then stopped altogether.
It amounted to nothing more than crass commercialism and a poor value for the high price to keep up with the series. The writers and publishers EXPLOITED their Christian readership. It was no more than a 2 volume book sold in many installments full of rehashes and crap that should have been edited out.

As annoyed as I am with the exploitation by the writers - I am even more annoyed by the extreme loyalty of many of the readers. Dare to criticize this poorly crafted series and its kooky premise, and you become the antichrist in their eyes.

Come on people. Have some discretion - don't be suckers just because the label says "Christian".
