Marjoe Gortner - thought prevolking book

This book was very interesting. It was not interesting because of the writing style however, but more due to the subject. This book chronicles the life of former child evangelist Marjoe Gortner and is a tell-all expose of both his family, upbringing and the corruption that existed within certain areas of the Christian Pentecostal movement. I was disturbed and embarrased at the things which were done "in the name of Jesus". As a Charismatic Christian minister, I felt that this book was not a slam on Christianity, but instead serves to shine the light of truth on the hypocrisy and religious pride that sometimes exists (hidden) within the church. After reading this book, I was left with a curiosity to know more about the current goings on with Marjoe Gortner. I was also sympathetic for the abuse and manipulation Marjoe suffered at the hands of his overbearing and manipulative parents. I highly recommend this book, especially to those people who are currently involved with church service.
