Here is my futile attempt at explaining how I felt after reading this powerful book. Right now I feel the pool of my heart has been stirred and the dirt is getting dredged up to the surface. So I feel like mud!
It really is a good book. I do not want to give anything away. You must read it for yourself. I also read the author's story in the recent Guidepost magazine. He went through a certain hell on earth and has the credibility to write what he wrote. In the back of the book it explains that it may be made into a movie. I hope so. It would be as powerful as The Passion movie was. And with special affects these days it will be really neat to see how they do it. I actually pictured it in my mind as I read it.
Remember, God really loves you. Here is one thought in the book: ............."For now I just want you to be with me and discover that our relationship is not about performance or you having to please me. I'm not a bully, not some self-centered demanding little deity insisting on my own way. I am good, and I desire only what is best for you. You cannot find that through guilt or comdemnation or coercion, only through a relationship of love. And I do love you" |
