I did like it but strictly as a fictional write. Possibly because I am a parent, there were parts of the story that really tugged at my sappy heart, but as for helping me develop a relationship with God, I've learned that the only book that will consistently help me there is the Bible. Your review was awesome, well presented, honest, a standout write.

As I was reading through some scripture today I realized that the Bible does not even do that. <BR/><BR/>What I was thinking in my mind as I wrote that was simply that it lays out a very clear and beautiful picture of who Jesus is that no denomination can deny. A picture that is not fictional or based on human emotions but grounded in the Word of God. <BR/><BR/>I look forward to hearing your thoughts. I hope Hamlet was amazing. I can picture in my mind class discussions we had about that play. It is funny to have a photogenic memory.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975616301257546839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364012020797579750.post-70971594207252187562009-01-20T04:16:00.000-08:002009-01-20T04:16:00.000-08:00Emily, thanks for the kind words.

Read everything with a discerning eye, testing the spirits as God commands of us.<BR/>"Dear Friends, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God. Many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize God’s Spirit: Every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. Any spirit who doesn’t confess this Jesus, isn’t from God.” I John 4:1-3a<BR/><BR/>Concerning Irresistible Revolution, "that can transcend all denominations". Honestly, that's a red flad for me but it might be worth perusing with discernment during Easter vacation when I have a chance to read some non-school related stuff.<BR/>Today, it's off to see Hamlet at Wayne State University. This could be my favorite Shakespearean play.JBrandthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723417174022097549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364012020797579750.post-50570144391024387022009-01-19T19:17:00.000-08:002009-01-19T19:17:00.000-08:00Your review has confirmed the fact that I refuse t...Your review has confirmed the fact that I refuse to pick up that book. I would be interested in reading your review on Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne if you ever have enough time to read it. I believe that this is one of the few books I have read that can transcend all denominations. One suggestion if this is a book you might read: prayerfully prepare yourself before reading it. I did not and really should have.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975616301257546839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364012020797579750.post-62613401362937147922009-01-19T09:16:00.000-08:002009-01-19T09:16:00.000-08:00I really enjoyed reading the review, I'll have to ...I really enjoyed reading the review, I'll have to listen to that Issues Etc. segment when there's time.Juliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354949898944398700noreply@blogger.com
