Shot Down by Amazon!

January 17, 2019 by Bob Kelly

I’m grateful to John Pearson, a well-known Christian leader and my long-time friend and colleague, for his enthusiastic support of my new book, Protected!, recently published by Tremendous Leadership. Subtitled A True Life Story of God’s Word Smuggled Behind the Iron Curtain – and the Influence of a “Tremendous” Man, the book is available both on the publisher’s website and on Amazon.

I’m grateful to John for his encouragement and endorsement. As publisher of the excellent Your Weekly Staff Meeting ezine, he reviews a countless number of books, and has submitted hundreds of those reviews to Amazon, every one of which has been routinely accepted and published – until now! For some reason, Amazon has chosen to reject his review of Protected!, spoiling John’s perfect record. The rejection notice gave no specific reason for its censorship, but included a link to its “Review Guidelines,” which are lengthy enough for one so inclined to reject anything considered offensive.

Significantly, from our perspective, the notice also included the name of my book, along with John’s complete review of it. There’s also a photo of the cover. Clicking on it will take you right to it. Stay tuned!
