After visiting the website of Joel and Kathy Davison it becomes quite clear they are in the business of selling books. Right from the beginning of this exercise you are encouraged to buy books. Buy this book, buy that book, buy, buy, buy and throughout all the postings individual moderators are busy prompting those seeking help and guidance, to purchase a book. Joel and Kathy dot com is a retail book store.
I realize that running any type of website involves money but come on. Joel and Kathy post quite often offering their heart felt sorrows, their sympathy, their suggestions, their advice while constantly pushing the buying of books.
Most people want to hear only what they want to hear. People like to be coddled and otherwise wallow in their anguish. The old saying comes to mind, Misery Loves Company. What they need to hear is the hard facts of life and be encouraged to pick up and move on, rather than building a library.
It has been my experience over the years to realize that those involved in a ministry for the Lord offer printed material for donations. Joel and Kathy appear to be more involved in a business than a ministry.
