Review of Working At The Warehouse
[Following is a volunteer review of "Working At The Warehouse" by Jerry A. Greenberg.]
The world is in a religious mess. Everybody thinks their religion is the best. So, instead of simply loving one another like brothers and sisters, they hold onto their religious beliefs and use them to destroy precious and innocent lives. In Working At The Warehouse by Jerry A. Greenberg, Lew Thompson is the general manager of a warehouse that sells salvation tool kits for Christians. Even though Lew did not own the warehouse, he was hardworking, dedicated, talented, and target-oriented. Lew has good leadership skills and coordinates his team very well. He stopped being a Christian when he lost his wife and has moved on only because of his love for his job. Despite his commitment to his work, Lew never believed in the potency of the products sold as Lew knew them to be phony and fake. But what could he do? He is only in the business to make money and would occasionally blame his customers who are foolish enough to buy from him. According to him, they are committed to religion rather than searching inwardly for God. Lew's life and belief system become shaken when he becomes the chosen one. Left with little choice, Lew has to choose between his love for his job and his passion for saving humanity from delusion and freeing them from the bondage of religion. Will Lew be able to choose wisely? Find out from this book.
Positively, I liked how the author explicitly stated the difference between religion and spirituality. Even though the book was fiction, it clearly stated the author's intention by telling us about the things presently happening in our societies. A little show of love could go a long way in redeeming the world rather than promoting hatred because of different religious backgrounds. I also love that the book gave insight into what organized religion is and that it is becoming more and more expensive to serve God. For example, Sal, Lew's friend, stopped going to church because they kept asking him to donate money for one project or another; without fulfilling his spiritual needs. Overall, I loved that the book was simple and easy to read, and I also loved the author's sense of humor.
Negatively, the book lacked suspense, and there were punctuation errors that sometimes made it difficult to understand the intention of the author. I also observed a lack of continuity between some of the chapters that made it difficult for me to follow the book intently.
Overall, I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars because it is educational and unexpectedly enlightening. I am removing a star because of a few spelling and punctuation errors, and there was nothing suspenseful about the book.
I recommend this book to fiction lovers with an educational twist to it. I would also recommend this book to those eager to make the world a better place to live. This book provides a spiritual perspective of serving and knowing God rather than a religious one.
