I enjoyed learning more about Whitfield and Herbert and I appreciate Piper noting hypocrisy in these men's life where it exists.

Some parts felt repetitive though and a bit unfocused. I'm also annoyed because I think he didn't focus as much on Lewis compared to the other men and I think it's partly because of his own disagreements with some of Lewis's convictions.
