Cracking Da Vinci's Code: You've Read the Book, Now Hear the Truth Audiobook

" This sort of book really annoys me. The authors seem to have said, "Okay, we need to write something that will refute the Da Vinci Code, but the only way we can do that and hold readers' attention is if we write a stupid little story that begins each chapter and resolves itself in the epilogue. The main character of this story will convince everyone that what we've said is true." That's basically all it was. Or, let me correct myself; there was a bit of factual information in each chapter, but "Carrie's" story seemed to be the main point of the book. Carrie is struggling to find spiritual fulfillment while being bombarded with different forms of spiritual experiments from her university environment. She then meets Evan, an evangelical Christian with a major in philosophy (he's also 6'6"), who playfully argues with her about The Da Vinci Code. He attends her study group and passes out Bibles, one of which Carrie takes and reads the New Testament (like the Old Testament isn't part of the Bible of something...) after which she attends Evan's church and eventually 'invites Jesus into her heart'. Now that's all cute and fluffy, but it could hardly be considered scholarly evidence! So, long story short (or maybe semi-short) the book annoyed me because it substituted an emotional story in place of concrete evidence as its main thrust. "

" If you are into God and Divinity and want to know more, this is your book. Personally, I couldn't read it. I was like I was going to church to hear someone talking to me about the invisible man in the sky. "

" Just wondering why it's necessary to "crack" a book of fiction.? "

" I had to read it after The Davinci Code made me think...lol. "

" excellent follow up book "

" An interesting altenate view's shared in the De Vinci Code, by Dan Brown..Love to hear both sides on an argument, so this is up my alley "

" Probably made me appreciate Dan Brown more...showed how the author could convince his readers that he was telling the truth. This book offers all the rebuttals to Browns book. "

" Contrary to what the title implies, this book proved nothing of the sort. I would almost go as far as to say it's a complete waste of time if it wasn't unintentionally hilarious. "

" One of the most insightful and inspirational books that I have read in a long time. I loved it so much, that I have decided to read it again. "

" I didn't like this one "

" Read with the novel. "

" I was somewhat disappointed with the book because I felt as if they were talking down to me, as well as being fairly repetitious with their arguments in various chapters. In my view the book could have covered the meat of their arguments in half the pages. "

" help me in standing firm on what i believe. "

" Well, it just an ordinary book, talking about the different perspective of Jesus. For me, I don't care about it anyway. That is why I questioned myself why I was sacrificing my money to buy this so-so book?? "

" Interesting take. It's good to see a book get so much drama. "

" For those who need to develop a balanced view after reading Dan Brown's Davinci code.. "

" This was a fascinating read about the history of Christianity and it's basic beliefs. The authors were at times a little over the top in their commentary about the facts but it was still very insightful. "

" The Davinci's Code is a novel that nags ar your head and keeps you guessing 'till the end. When boredom keeps you from doing some activity outside you should pick up this book. You will never regret it. "

" James L. Garlow wrote this book in a similar way with the novel, which uses a story then he explained. Gives you not only what is fiction fact in Da Vinci's Code, but also all the historical evidence. "

" I was somewhat disappointed with the book because I felt as if they were talking down to me, as well as being fairly repetitious with their arguments in various chapters. In my view the book could have covered the meat of their arguments in half the pages. "

" Interesting take. It's good to see a book get so much drama. "

" The book goes &amp; shows that a lot of the facts in <u>The Da Vinci Code</u> are either misleading and/or just plain false. <br/> <br/>A must read for anybody that has read <u>The Da Vinci Code</u> &amp; wants to know what are &amp; are not facts. Also, what can't be proven either way... "

" just like that show..Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction <br/>the book's trying to reveal whoch of the novel is fact and fiction.. "

" An interesting altenate view's shared in the De Vinci Code, by Dan Brown..Love to hear both sides on an argument, so this is up my alley "

" The Davinci's Code is a novel that nags ar your head and keeps you guessing 'till the end. When boredom keeps you from doing some activity outside you should pick up this book. You will never regret it. "

" this book was ok for a couple of pages then it kinda seemed like a whiney kid saying &quot;but he makes me look dumb&quot; "

" Well, it just an ordinary book, talking about the different perspective of Jesus. For me, I don't care about it anyway. That is why I questioned myself why I was sacrificing my money to buy this so-so book?? "
