Professional Review:
In Sarah, the first biography released of Governor Palin, author Kaylene Johnson draws upon personal interviews with Palin, her family, and other highly placed sources to explore Palin's family life, her upbringing in a devout Christian home, her political rise, and how she went from being a long-shot candidate to--potentially--one of the world's most powerful women and political figures. The book features dozens of family and political photos and contains source notes. An Epicenter Press book, distributed by Tyndale House. Tyndale will also provide a free online discussion guide designed to engage readers on the subject of faith and politics: www.FaithandPoliticsDiscussionGuide.com.

 Rating 4   Written on November 5, 2008
   Summary: Ordinary/Extraordinary Woman
Beautifully written biography of an (in many ways) every-day American woman who strives for, and accomplishes, extraordinary things. Simple and inspirational. The narrative of Alaska family life will stand the test of time and remain an important portrait of Americana for years (and maybe generations)to come.

   Summary: Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is an amazing person. She has done more in her short life than I have done in my long life.

   Summary: A positive look at Palin, simply written, that ignores important facts
This book is a simply-written piece that casts Palin in a positive light, describing her as an all-American hockey mom. The accuracy of this book, however, is doubtful.

For example, the book depicts Palin as an evangelical Christian. For more than 20 years, Palin belonged to a radical Pentecostal church with strong links to the New Apostolic Reformation and Toronto Blessing movements. These kinds of churches are commonly considered heretical "cults" by evangelical Christians (for example, see cultwatch.org, or Hank Hannegraff's chillingly prophetic work, "Counterfeit Revival"). Most evangelical Christians would be offended to hear of such a church being portrayed simply as "evangelical," and shocked that a publisher would try to dupe them into accepting an acolyte of this movement as a fellow evangelical. It is true that Palin transferred her church membership from the Wasilla Assembly of God to an evangelical church in Wasilla. However, she usually attends another uber-Pentecostal church, the Juneau Christian Center, and maintains a strong relationship with the Wasilla Assembly of God.

This book is simply a campaign trick. If you want to know more about Sarah Palin, I suggest you Google "Sarah+Palin AND Thomas+Muthee" and "Sarah+Palin AND New+Apostolic+Reformation." Very few Christians who are not aligned with the most radical wing of the Pentecostal movement would want Palin one heartbeat away from the presidency if they googled those search phrases.

BTW, if you're going to comment on my review and tell me that we need to vote for Sarah to protect all those precious unborn babies, do me the courtesy of googling those phrases and reading at least a few of the articles that come up. If you don't understand what the New Apostolic Reformation and its associated movements are about, don't respond to my review.

   Summary: Sarah! WOW!
A great book, providing meaningful insights as well as thorough information about a great lady. definitely the better of the two recent brief Palin biographies.
