In it are accounts of the charlatans behind the money making schemes that play on the emotions and needs of humans. It tells the story of supposed ministers of God that make a mockery of religion and care little for the efficacy of their work or for the human lives they shatter. James Randi does an excellent job of exposing the con artists for what they are; and how they consistently and repeatedly refuse to put their claims to the test. Read the book and become informed of the deception, insincerity, and insensitivity that are the faith healers.Was this review helpful to you? 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful:masterful research, March 2, 1998Reviewer:skein1@.comfrom u.s.Randi does an excellent job of exposing these frauds who prey on the sick and despairing all for the sake of the almighty buck. The blatant lying,greed,hypocrisy of these "faith healers" is truly revolting. I dont blame Randi for being angry at this. These faith healers should be prosecuted. His book offers an excellent critique of the horrific abuses of these faith healers. Randi starts off with a history of faith healing and then goes on to show that not only is there no proof for faith healing, but that people are frequently pulled into this racket usually to their greater detriment. The main thrust of this book is to show that faith healing is really a racket put on by con artists who couldt care less about the bible. They prey on people who are sick and despairing all for their own greed. There may be such things as faith healing, but so far we have no proof of it. If there is a god, he gave man reason to use in the pursuit of a reliable form of knowledge which is science, not in the mysticism and nebulous thinking of faith healers.. . . .Read More
