My busy over-educated brain is a positive hindrance to prayer, and far too often my thoughts speed off on tangents which are intellectually fascinating but quite irrelevant to the task of praying in an acceptable manner." "I must make it clear-if indeed it is not already obvious-that I am not a great spiritual athlete and in no way superior to the uneducated person who knows nothing of Platonic forms and just gets on with the job of praying without going through any intellectual hoops. The powerful message of forgiveness and redemption presented here is very comforting. It's always interesting to me that no matter how much you think you know, as life goes on, when you look back you realise you knew very little. In this volume, we return to the original character towards the latter part of his life. This is the 6th and final book in the "Church of England" series. I am going to read more of her books as well and definitely will read these again in a decade!
I love reading about lives transformed and how that is not a straight line but such an up and down journey.Īlso I bought a Book of Common prayer, these books, as well as a memoir, made me want to be more of a part of the historical universal church and all its wisdom.
ONE AMERICA NEWS ABSOLUTE TRUTH SERIES
The series was redeemed after me not enjoying 4&5 as much this time around. Another side note, I am doing Beth Moore's Bible study at church, When godly people do ungodly things, which is about making a big mistake as a believer and then being healed, and this book is a perfect story of all that and how God intermingles all for the GOOD of those who love him.Īgain I loved the 3 characters coming together. Its kinda sad to be reviewing this because it means this series is over and wow what a part of my life its been this past year. I loved the way the books interweave and especially how the three main guys are brought together in the end (and oh the great aspects of the church they all represent and side note, I wonder if SH had a favorite, I'll never know how a writer's mind works.) Just like the God she reflects upon and these guys try to serve, this book cannot be labeled or put into a little nice box.
And just like her, she surprises you by the narrator-let's go back to the first guy and back in time since book 5. A very busy book (though I kept thinking in the end was she going to have time to wrap up all the pieces?).
