I found it is a book that promotes showing love to people...BUT if you take this book to be true then you must completely reject the Bible. At no point in the book does it line up with the Bible.

I found it interesting that at no point does it agree with exactly how the Bible is written. It completely questions the validity and puts the focus on Angels on the same level as their Creator God.

I don't know if it works with Windows XP but I do know that trying to make it work as advertised with Vista isn't possible. I've made a promise to myself to never buy another HP product.", "title": "Junk that won't work and Isn't Supported by HP" }
