Reviews
"There's a desperate need for every literate person to understand this." - Dr. Elton McGoun, Accounting and Business Professor, Bucknell University "I read it without stopping. Some examples are brilliant, some are hilarious. All are disturbingly relevant." -Mark Glaess, former Executive Director, Minnesota Rural Electric Association "The voice from this book lingers. I thought I normally questioned everything. I'm now even more consciously aware." -Ronald Gombach, The Gombach Group & Livingplaces.com "What is truth?" Pontius Pilate's question echoes two millennia later as numbers have become the oracle where we seek the truth. But who is fact-checking-and method-checking-the oracles? In the wake of 2016's wrong election predictions, Painting By Numbers provides a prescient look at why Pilate's question remains unanswered." -Dr. Stephen Werner, Religious Educator, Author, and Social Philosopher
