Customer Reviews

A book worth reading!

I have read one review that conveys the notion that not many solutions are provided by Stanley Hauerwas' writings. This kind of review only highlights the very things that Dr. Hauerwas is combating; somehow, "American values" are equated with Christian values to the point were the average person cannot discern between the two. One must try to eliminate this type of thinking before one can see that Stanley Hauerwas is offering feasible and necessary solutions.This book will certainly challenge one's way of thinking. If one will remain open to Hauerwas' assertions, then one just might find that this book is not so "shocking."
