T.D Jakes is an interesting writer. His writing style is, in a single word, bombastic. More fully described, his writing style is bombastic with a shotgun approach. He tries to cover men in a variety of situations with a variety of needs and as a result, isn't as focused as I'd like. Nevertheless, he does have some great insights on how to live unloosed, and that's worth the read. Sometimes his theology is a bit sloppy, but his heart is in the right place and it shows. I didn't care much for the second book as it seemed to go over the same ground with more than a nod to PC, which is unhelpful. Anyhow, it's worth getting used, and it's probably better to get the stand alone version of "Loose That Man..." than this version. ( )
