Chris – Thanks for this update. I didn’t think he would add anything to it and now we know. My guess is that there are very few changes from the pre-pub copy I got. As you know, much of this book was already published on his website. He just recycled it for this book.

The book I just received when I ordered what is listed as being published by WallBuilder Press is the same Thomas Nelson edition that I got when the book was first published back in April. It still says Thomas Nelson on it. Not only is it not a new edition with all that additional material that Barton promised, it catches Barton in yet another lie. On several occasions, Barton has claimed that corrections were made with each new printing done by Thomas Nelson – you know, to take care of those “semantics” issues. Well, guess what … there has not been a single change made to this book! The copy I got last week is identical to the first printing. I went through all seven chapters page by page looking for these alleged changes, and didn’t find a single one. I’ll be posting on my blog about this latest lie as soon as I get a chance to gather the video clips of Barton claiming that changes were made with each printing.
