7 Tipping Points That Saved The World (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
The premise behind the book is very interesting. The heavy bias, which is readily evident, takes some of the objectivity away from this historical look at how these several events shaped humanity's quest for freedom.The fictionalized accounts are fairly simple, but do bring some light some of the personalities in a unique way. Since I listened to the audiobook, I can’t make comments about the sourcing, which would also be key in looking at the topics the authors pursue.On the whole, the book was okay. It was an interesting premise and provides some food for thought, but the case they make did not come across as strongly as they may have set out to make it, at least to me. I listened to the audio version of this book. I don't agree with all the conclusions that the authors make about the results that these seven events caused to the history of the world, however, I do believe that each of these events were incredible and very interesting to learn about. I think that a more appropriate title to this book may have been "Seven Tipping Points that Saved Christianity". Overall it was an interesting book, and I'd recommend it to anyone that wants to view historical events using a religious context.

Where did freedom come from? Is it the rule of the exception? What does history prove?
