Selvom han beretter om slagsmål, drukkenskab og livet som en forhenværende ungdomsforbryder, så sidder man tilbage med et varmt billede af Brendan Behan. Bag den hårde overflade gemte sig en godhjertet, blid dreng, der trods sit vilde liv aldrig blev forhærdet.

As many self-help gurus will tell you, we are the summation of our daily habits. What has so far been missing is a comprehensive guide to which habits are most valuable to us and how they work together as a system, for the best impact on our lives.

“Who in hell taught you that?” is a thought-provoking book that examines how Scripture is frequently misquoted or taken out of context in religious teaching. Many people—including preachers—often cite Biblical passages without proper understanding of their context, leading to widespread misinterpretation. Drawing from personal observations and Biblical references (particularly 2 Timothy), I emphasize the importance of studying Scripture carefully, "rightly dividing the word of Truth" rather than relying on cultural sayings or secondhand interpretations.

På en og samme tid udspiller sig en kaerlighedshistorie og en tragedie med adelsmanden Jørgen Lykke som centrum i 1500-tallets Danmark. Det er reformationstidens brydning mellem konge, adel og magt, som danner baggrunden, men først og fremmest er det den tragiske fortaelling om adelsmanden, som bliver mere og mere skruppelløs i sin jagt efter rigdom og magt. Thit Jensen selv mente, at hun havde en spirituel forbindelse til sine mange historiske figurer, som satte hende i stand til at portraettere dem akkurat, og som hun byggede fortaellingerne op ud fra. Denne spiritualitet praeger i høj grad både romanen Jørgen Lykke og Thit Jensens mange andre store historiske romaner.
