5.0 out of 5 stars You'll never look a these guys the same again!, 21 Jun 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Faith Healers (Hardcover)
This book was great! It truly exposes these "men of God" for who they really are: Scam artists! I still can't believe these men are still on T.V. selling their lies! It goes to show you just how gullible we human beings can be. You owe it to yourself to read this book. I'm really thankful to have a man like James Randi out there doing what he's doing. Keep it up! Sincerely, Sean Roscoe

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep your eye on your wallets., 6 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Faith Healers (Hardcover)
Ever wondered how the "Faith Healers" of EVERY description run their con games. They are finally and incontrovertably exposed as the money grubbing frauds they are in this wonderfully writen and documented book by James Randi. You will never look at "psychics" and "faith healers" the same way again.

5.0 out of 5 stars masterful research, 2 Mar 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Faith Healers (Hardcover)
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 don't 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 could't 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.
