Yes, this part doesn't sit very well with me either. Seems the question about the bible should have been better explained than just to say it should be read "prayerfully", whatever that means. It's a valid question that many Christians struggle with making sense of.
Then again, this is the shortened version so maybe the book goes more in depth about it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
