This book is basically about Stephen Mansfield’s views on the way Oprah has influenced religion in America today. The book starts out with a short biography of Oprah and then gets more into the details of her religious journey and Mansfield’s view on that.
I was very impressed by the biography in the beginning of the book. I like biographies and found this one interesting and informative. By reading this I learned a lot about Oprah that I did not know before and I was eager to get to the next part of the book.
However, when I got the next part I was disappointed. It is natural that all writers express some bias in their writings. Stephen Mansfield’s “Where Has Oprah Taken Us,” however, was very judgmental and extremely biased. To be honest it was hard for me to even get through the book because it was so negative and, at times, boring.
I would recommend reading “Where Has Oprah Taken Us” if one is really interested in Mansfield’s personal opinion. Other than that provided less facts and more bias.
