I don't think we have Ohio or at least enough interested to do a review/comments.
Regarding Steve, he's both a journalist and a prophet. As much as the Local Church co-workers and elders have tried to suppress, Steve's efforts has helped bring forth the other side of the story. Without Steve, I don't think I would have ever known the existence of Speaking the Truth in Love. A mutual brother Steve and I knew well, his wife happened to had a hard copy of the book.
Steve has actually been up and down the highways meeting and interviewing various brothers and sisters formerly of the local churches.
Would we had known Mario Sandoval's experiences if not for Steve's article Hear the Cases. The investigative journalism may not be complete, but we may know "The Rest of the Story".
