I just wanted to make a plug for a book our MC has read at the beginning of the year.
"Now I think the Bible is the most amazing, beautiful, deep, inspired, engaging, collection of writings ever. How is it that this ancient book continues to affect me in ways no other book does?
But sometimes when I hear people quote the Bible, I just want to throw up.
Can I just say that?
Can I get that off my chest?
Sometimes when people are backing up their points and the Bible is used to prove that they are right, everything within me says, 'There is no way that's what God meant by that verse.'
Several hundred years ago people used Bible verses to defend their rights to own slaves."
Good book, good stuff. Rob Bell, the author, is really in tune with the new generation of Christianity and what I really means to love. Good book.
