Guinness is brilliant!

Many authors would take thousands of pages to say what Guinness does in 128 pgs. His insight into our current cultural abyss demonstrates his keen insight. The depth and breadth of his reading is obvious for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. He is the voice crying in the postmodern wasteland!

Looking at the moose on the dining room table.

One of the basic human defense mechanisms we follow to protect ourselves from unwanted situations or painful emotions is denial. We just put it away from our conscious mind even though the facts are staring us in the face. This book helps us to look at life "the way it really is." The insightful remarks on Vaclav Havel, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and Primo Levi are truthful yet marked with humility and sensitivity. These threee men have suffered greatly from modern governments that deny truth regarding human beings. These regimes have regarded people simply as mere biological units who exist for the pleasure of the state. What is to prevent the same thing happening in the 21 first century that happen in the last? This little book is a clarion call for Christians and non-Christians to proclaim the virtues of integrity, honesty, and plain speaking. I believe a thoughtful reading will lead to the awkward realization that "hey, there is a moose on our table;" however, to paraphrase C.S. Lewis, he is not a tame moose.
