I loved this book. It was very insightful and challenging to evangelicals without being insulting. I'm not one myself but it's amazing to hear the challenges of those groups and how they are finding solutions to issues that seem impossible. Very well written and respectful of tough material. I will be reading more from this author.

A very fun history. A little eclectic. But it's a story of a liberal man exploring Bigfoot stories. I enjoyed it.

This Gal really likes the moon. A very general history, was looking for something with more substance. But definitely makes me appreciate the moon. Thank you Mr Moon
