 Fantastic book! November 30, 2008
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book was so thought-provoking! I actually read it a second time as soon as I finished it the first time, but this time with a yellow highlighter. I highly recommend this book, but be ready to think outside-the-box when it comes to how you think God looks or sounds.

Marvelous - Highly Recommended November 29, 2008

This book was a God-send. I have been battling mysterious health issues since July 08, my father was placed in hospice and died of prostate cancer stage d in September 08 (I was at his side when he died), my daughter left an emotionally abusive husband that same month and now there is a fierce intra-state custody battle (the guy's trying to take my granddaughter using the reason that my daughter is type I diabetic and can't care for her. In other words, life recently hit me like a ton of bricks. I haven't been a church going or paying much attention to my faith for decades. This book was recommended to me. The discussion about anxiety over the future on page 142 caused me to put the book down and slap my forehead. I then went out back under the beautiful Arizona night sky and got on my knees.
I don't care what anyone is saying/writing about the theological issues with this book. I think it's a beautiful work and maybe the most important novel I've ever read - and I read a lot. Young certainly isn't a John Steinbeck or Harper Lee when it comes to writing skills but the guy doesn't really consider himself a fiction writer anyway. It's still a very readable book. My other favorite novels are To Kill a Mockingbird, East of Eden and The Grapes of Wrath.
As far as life goes, I always thought I could be the Atticus Finch type and go it alone. Be a good man, have a good family and face the harsh things that life brings. I was so wrong and I'm so thankful this book was recommended to me.
Something I thought was interesting, every time I came up with a "yeah, but..." the author answered the question within a paragraph or two! This happened several times while I went through the book. I read all but the last 20 pages in a single sitting.
Raw realities of life IN Jesus November 29, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
With so many people losing faith in organized religion, this is a refreshing look at what being a Follower of Jesus Christ is.
It's not about YOU, it's about GOD and a very personal RELATIONSHIP with Him. A relationship that takes you through the absolute worse including forgiving what most find unforgiveable, but learning that we are called to forgive so God can do His work in their lives.
With down to earth, everyday happenings you can understand , especially for a "seeker".
WE are God's Church, His children and He does love even us, NO MATTER WHAT.A building does NOT make a Christian nor a Church. With all the "man made rules and man made doctrines" how can anyone expect to learn the true LOVE of God?
Written in a way that takes you through what a lot of us feel or think in our lives everyday. Dealing with real life issues and coming through forever changed.
This book is NOT about theology, but a real life experience that cuts no slack. God IS love and yes, He Loves Even YOU!!!
