I loved this book. I need to get a print version so I can properly cite passages. may the Givens continue to write and speak and continue to enlighten. Sin isn't cause for punishment - it is need for healing from The Healer. Righteousness isn't a solitary endeavor, it is being with and strengthening others, just as Jesus heals and comforts us.

Long allegory

Revisado: 09-06-19

This is a short book, easy to listen to at 2x speed. the allegory starts off interesting, but gets old and forced. Samauri archers talking about Michael Jordan is forced. They are still valuable vignettes that I can share in my own circles, just not under the pretext of a samauri.

Fine Juvenile Fiction

Fun, lighthearted book that also has meaningful themes and talking points. It makes me want to read Shakespeare again.

Great explanations

Revisado: 08-10-19

I really liked this book. It gave me lots to think about. Many unnecessary issues are created when people feel science disproves the existence of God. Science can teach how but not why, and religion teaches why but not how. Richins explains many complex systems in nature to a level that I had never considered, then poses questions to highlight the complexity - what if water froze at a different temperature? What if the tilt of the earth on its axis were different? What if the length of a day were shorter or longer? He uses the complexity as evidence of an architect in the design. Ultimately, though, he takes a step back and says science teaches how, and religion teaches why.
