Diving Catch, as though in a make-up football game

Revisado: 04-15-23

At the finish it occurred to me the book was like a ragtag, spontaneous, make-up football game. An offensive receiver told to, "go long," running with all they have, winded, the receiver looks up to see the ball dropping but to catch it has to dive forward with outstretched finger tips. Christianity requires a leap of faith in believing, trusting, and obeyding in the saviour's call--He does not disappoint!

God loves us and thus corrects us

Revisado: 03-19-23

Forgiveness is a test of ones faith, certainly not easy yet absolutely nessacary. Keller gives instruction, what is need to know to be courageous and take the steps to forgive those who have wronged us and how to confront the person in a loving manner. The material also gives insight into how one who confronted responds, if done correctly both parties benefit. I gained perspective that actually eliminated guilt in an effort to confront that was not received well.

Christian's are messy too

Revisado: 02-18-23

A good listen overall. the gospel presented through scripture and personal experience. The suggestions on ways to atone for ones pasts misgivings were interesting though lacked suggestions on how to overcome past transgressions in relationships when unable to find the ones you hurt to ask for forgiveness.

Be a peacemaker

Revisado: 01-03-23

Midway through I struggled with author's ideology. I look to the Rev Keith Mannes for truth, who unlike the author's resume, stood up for biblical truths through acting in opposition to the political Red blackened moral record and bent character.

Got me to thinking on church and faith, exposing and questioning my beliefs and understanding of what is important in being a Christian. Love in all my relationships is foundational, keeping me focused and moving with Jesus! Amen

Provides a path forward when stuck in the muck

Revisado: 11-05-22

The staccato pace of the trunticated chapters that jump from one expression of instruction to another was at first annoying. Sticking with it though was well worth it, I learned some positive ways to return my focus to scripture and most importantly to God.

Reminder how trying life in 20s/30s can be

Revisado: 10-29-22

Narrator seemed to drop her voice (that is unclear pronuciation) when reading the descriptive terms found in psychology. I pray the author has a long fulfilling life and strong immediate loving family bonds.

Unsurpassable writing on emotions

Revisado: 10-19-22

Excellent prose on explaining emotions their impact and necessity for us as humans and how God doesn't want us to deny our emotions but rather is glorified by our emotions as revealed in worship. A must read.

Patience and understanding I got through the book

Revisado: 10-01-22

Unfortunately, I found the book to be lacking the instruction I was looking for. The example of struggles in communicating with wife and particularly the Son, though a husband and father myself, failed to put forth skills needed to communicate with love to desculate the drama and bring about a heart felt reconciliation.
Naration tended to drone on thus the story lost my interest making listening more of a chore.
