I have read this book recently, and although I do not agree with fully theologically speaking, it is well written, and there are some very valid points. In fact many of the points in it (for example about tithing, and paid clergy) are a major reason I was turned off to the churches I grew up attending, and thus am now part of a religious organization that does not preach tithing, or have paid clergy at that. Another thing I appreciated about the book was the section on churches having one single individual with the title "Pastor".
