The Shack, Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity, William Paul Young, Newbury Park, California. 2007
A little far out for my imagination in depicting God as so colloquial. When God has meaning, presence, and we think we understand completely, God is probably not comprehended; we have a projection of our God on a small screen.
Also the difficult question of theodicy still has not been answered to satisfaction. This was another attempt which falls short as history has proven the question to be so difficult.
We live by faith, not by sight.

Sexual Liberation (The Scandal of Christendom), Raymond J. Lawrence, Praeger, Westport, Connecticut. 2007
Here is a book with strong research, accurate historical record, top-notch interpretation of history and a great since of humor. Raymond Lawrence has done Christians a favor getting us to think about sex differently and maybe we can begin to experience it more realistically. I have heard a long time that the difficulty with our world is not too much sex... but not enough--not enough caring, compassionate, sincere, passionate, gut-wrenching, earth shaking sex between two persons who deeply love and respect each other. That kind of love making tends to create a lasting, committed relationship.
