Ratings and reviews

I was recently able to purchase this book at a book sale and the title intrigued me. But I wonder if Mr. Ryan has done any research into the power of the Word and the faith of His followers. I must say, I have not yet finished the book, but it is a bit disheartening, to say the least, that this book is categorized under religion although several segments appear to discredit the spiritual manisfestations and miracles of an omnipotent God.
