ANNOUNCEMENT:
Due to the overwhelming number of requests I am receieving for "Brown Like Jaz"
I would like to announce that I may possibly be writing this book for all of my fans.
Thank-You in advance for all of your support in this long awaited and dreamed about project of mine.
Yours sincerly,
Jaz S. Ghag
Happy Birthday Paul.
Interesting topic, I like it.
I am curious why you choose Left Behind as the book you wished was never written?
Although I think the writing is good enough, I think the books have made Christians embrace the stereotype that the world has for us.
The other thing that bugged me is that after I had read the first 5, I realized that I had bought into the commercial-ness of the series. He could have written 4 instead of 12. I felt a little used.
I have never read the Left Behind books, but the main criticism I have heard is that the authors seemed to milk everyone on the number of books.
Not saying it is right, but from a business sense writing the start of a series that sells millions would be easy money to continue as long as possible.
