No I have not. I haven't because he's a popularizer at best. If you read good books and you learn how to find answers, then you don't really need people like that.
As I said in the review, that industry is by and large constructed to reach the lowest common denominator and to keep its consumers at an introductory level to secure a regular cash flow and dependence.
If you have read some church history, some historical theology and some philosophy, you really don't need people like that. What one needs is to spend some time at the library and discuss things with an appropriately trained minister in your given tradition.
If your ministers aren't appropriately trained to guide you through the intellectual maze, well that might be a problem.
Besides, I have my own degrees and I have about 30+ years of reading and doing apologetics under my belt on top of about a decade of teaching philosophy. He isn't likely to know much more than I do. I am not saying that to brag but no, I generally ignore popular figures.
