 "Jesus' Words Only" was a decent read. The premise of Paul being the false apostle is correct, but the author does not use evidence that is as strong as he could have. The high point of the book was the explanation of "Balaam" in Revelation 2:14.

Aside from all of that, Del Tondo crosses himself a few times in his explanation. He says at one point, correctly, that adding to or taking away from the Law is a sin, and would make someone a false prophet. But, he then goes on to claim that Jesus in Matthew 15 and Mark 7 is saying that eating non-kosher food is ok (thus a violation of the criteria he used against Paul), instead of explaining that Jesus was speaking about rabbinic tradition.

Good premise, but overall the book was lacking. Due to the nonexistence of literature relating to this subject, it wouldn't hurt to pick this one up. He has it for free on his website: www.jesuswordsonly.com

 I am reading this book sent to me by my dad. He believes that Paul was a false prophet and all his writings shouldn't be in the Bible. I am trying to read this book with an open mind but find it difficult since Luke wrote about Saul's conversion to Paul in Acts 9 and 10, supporting the legitimacy of Paul as a servant of Christ. Few doubt Luke's inspiration. I am reading it to find how such a claim could be made.

 The premise of this book is to show that Paul is an apostate, that he may have been a true follower of Jesus but that he turned away. He contends that though Paul may have had a true experience with Jesus on the road to Damascus he was not an apostle, but Paul declared himself an apostle. His comparison of Paul with Balaam is interesting, as well as the explanation of knowing a prophet or apostle by their message, not by the signs and wonders. He make some miss steps in his arguments but the underlining premise is a good one.
