Disappointment with God

Philip Yancey has a very simple and easily-readible style - yet by no means does he sacrifice quality for that. The books delves into hard questions:
- Is God unfair?
- Is God silent?
- Is God hidden?

It is excellent. I will remember this book forever probably. I think that any person who feels disillusioned by what's going on in the church .. people who have pushed past the simple answers and have come back empty handed. A lot of the book is spent on the book of Job and in real life stories. That makes it easy to read and the stories stick in you mind. I'll remember some of the stories for a long time.

This book really spoke to my heart. I guess that after everything that happened over the last few years left me a bit fearful to commit to prayer and faith again. I'm not sure that I'm back, but this book gave a lot of understanding and healing.


Thanks, Philip.

The Purity Principle

This book by Randy Alcorn is about sexual purity. It's really pretty good... It calls for very high standards and very radical life changes. The only thing I don't like too much is when he starts saying to do specific things and not to do others. It seems a bit legalistic. But perhaps that's what's need. The church is slipping into immorality. Pornography, adultery, sex out marriage, and stuff are destroying the church.


Anyway... good read.
