A Surprise Package
On Friday I received a box from Catalyst. The first box they sent had a Bible and a book with an interesting title by someone I hadn't heard of...but I do plan to read. So, I was very interested in what was in this box - I love books and I love free stuff...and I quite enjoy a surprise.
Opening the box, I found three books (!) all of which I had been wanting to read (in fact, I bought one already). Of the other two that I didn't own, I was very interested in one, and mildly in the other simply because I find Lanny Donoho very interesting...in fact, he remains the top person on my Barbecue list (and has even said he would come
Lanny's book, God's Blog was a wonderful and easy read. I started Saturday and finished this evening, a rare occurrence in my reading schedule. I'm sure there will be some critics out there, but I loved the book, I loved the weirdness of the format, and I loved that it was written from God's prospective (sort of).
I got something out of most chapters, but will wind up reading the Bubble chapter again and again. This is well worth picking up and reading, even if you are not a believer and have no intention of becoming one. It's not a book designed to force or trick you into belief in God, it's one that will make you think.
I can't honestly say it's the best one I've read this year (Sorry Lanny, you were up against I am not but I know I AM and Velvet Elvis) but it is near the top of the list.
Thank you God for Lanny.
