Chris, this one is for you!
My oldest son has been telling me that I need to read this
book for awhile now. And so I have! Once I started it, I couldn’t put it
down. Don Miller writes in a very
conversational style. I felt as if I
knew him once the book was done. I
appreciated his honest and fresh perspective on the Christian life, which he
calls Christian spirituality. I had been
afraid that I would find things in the book that I would object to, but I found
that wasn’t usually the case. Don seems
to have a good grasp of his subject matter.
He emphasizes salvation, sin, grace, confession, love, worship and
community.
He challenged me to see my world and the people in it
differently. He challenged me to love
God more and to share His love with others more. There may be subtle points at which our
theologies differ, however, it seemed that he nailed all the really important
ones. I was very glad to read the part he wrote on tithing, as I think that is
often overlooked today. If you enjoy a book that may stretch your thinking in
matters of living out your faith, you should probably include this in the pile
in your night stand. Thanks Jan, for
loaning me this book.
