He can say whatever he likes, but actions speak louder than words. (And the facts I noted above are public and easily accessible for verification). His actions tell people what he values more apparently. For this and the reasons given above, the book is, in my opinion, just popular fluff written by another grifter. You’d be better served by reading works by people who have the academic credentials and are recognized in their field as experts, rather than someone who has no expertise, reads from a teleprompter and reads prepared answers or cribs from the books of others on air while passing them off as his own.
But if you feel it is important to pay for Hank’s millionaire country club lifestyle, by all means buy the book, because while truth may matter, Hank’s good life matters more.

Nice summary of a well-written piece. Better and more thoroughly done than many of us could have, including myself.
Politics makes strange bedfellows, as they say. A grifter on the margins of Christianity gives the imprimatur of respectability to a group who won't recognize the legitimacy of anyone in Christianity but their own small circle.
Nice to see someone doing "Christian Research" on the Christian Research Institute.
