The beginning starts with grand, profound and very weighty truths. It gets progressively more... difficult, unnecessarily difficult, to read towards the end because it devolves into cliches and the exegesis becomes more and more tortured as well. I about threw the book away when he quoted a particular verse from Proverbs to support how God earnestly desires us to give him our heart. Inexcusable. <br/> <br/>If the book was only 2 chapters long, it might've been worth 10 stars, but I just can't ignore the poor work at the end. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/61472?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
