I stopped before I started, all it took was seeing a quote by Anais Nin. The idea that he would use a quote by Anais Nin would give one pause. She was a bigamist, a committer of incest, an adulterer, etc. The quote was probably selected by his publisher, not him - simply as a blurb to put on the back of the book - which doesn't say much for the publisher. However, the Obama decision is all Warren's, and you can definitely fault him for that.

So it wasn't the publisher, it was Warren that chose to use it. Imagine your church using this book, and a visitor who has a problem with pornography was attending, looking for salvation. He sees this quote, and thinks "Wow, these people accept Anais Nin!" That alone is enough to remove it from his book, but Warren refuses.
