Where Has Oprah Taken Us?

The first thing that I would like to say is that before reading this book I had very little knowledge about Oprah Winfrey let alone know about her roots and spirituality. The book “Where Has Oprah Taken Us? - The Religious Influence of the World's Most Famous Woman” by Stephen Mansfield recounts her fascinating life and all that went into shaping her as she is today, both the good and the bad, chronicling her resolve and her beliefs that have evolved over the years and throughout her life. Oprah thought started off as a Baptist has been influenced by numerous beliefs and practices which in my opinion does not go well with a celebrity, more so if that celebrity happens to be the icon of a significant section of society.

Over and above I feel that instead of the title that this book has it should be called “Where does Oprah stand?”. I did not enjoy reading this book as much as I had looked forward to it mostly because the subject dried as I read on.
