Kannattaisko kyseinen kirja lukea, onko hyvä? Kunka luotettavia nuo MJ:n sanomiset sitten siinä kirjassa on, onko rabbi vääristellyt niitä, vai voiko uskoa MJ:n oikeasti sanoneen noin? :)
kirjan ilman rabin kommentaaria. En tiedä miten luotettavia sanomiset ovat eli onko siitä kenenkään muun kuin rabin sana että ne ovat todella nauhalla, mutta aika pitkät pätkät on kuuluneet televisiossa ja radiossakin eli onhan se mahdollista että puheet tosiaan nauhalta löytyvät.
