Warning: this is not a pretty sight. Too much fundamentalism for Stuart is much like too much Mountain Dew for middle school students - both end up caustic and cranky in the end. This grumbly rant is a cautionary tale. A week filled with Way of the Master ministries, Kirk Cameron and John MacArthur don’t mix well.

I’ve learned from this and it won’t happen again.

Many of you know that I have a deep love of John MacArthur of “Grace to Who? Ministries” (note the thick sarcasm), so when I saw this on Joe Martino’s blog, I had to share it. I was given Johnny Mac’s new book “The Truth War” and I couldn’t make it past the introduction. I tried, I really did. But what a bitter, pompous old man. He was trying to deconstruct the post modern/emergent movement, but it was evident quickly on that he had no idea what he was talking about. You know the people that try to make arguments based on second hand information? They can be heard say things “I heard that them Mexicans are going to eat my social security check” or “proctor gamble is run by the anti-christ.” Johnny pretty much embodies that and does a good job here with missing the point. His main point always seems to be that he’s right and the rest of you can all go to hell, because he can back it with scripture. Needless to say that there’s not much love between Johnny and I.

But if you do enjoy, narrow-minded, dogmatic, misinformed, confused, creepy old men who lack humility… this book may be for you.
