A book has been circulating in some church circles called “Muscle and a Shovel”, claimed by some to have “converted 10,000 people”. Garrett Best gives an honest and salt-seasoned review of the book.
I’ve read the book. I even was able to contacted the author.
Garrett has done a marvelous job in his review. The only thing I would add would be its praises in Michael Shank’s personal life. If you take the book as his personal account on how he was saved, I recommend the book. But I would agree with Garrett: I would certainly NOT use this book for evangelism.
I don’t doubt that the man is on fire for evangelism. And I’m glad Garrett made the distinction of only critiquing the book, not the man.
