Dug Down Deep The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

[image error]Interesting, fun, engaging, funny... doctrine? Inconceivable! That word, I do not think it means what you think it means.


The Good:
Dug Down Deep IS engaging, fun, interesting – and about doctrine. Joshua Harris has a gift taking dead, dry doctrinal bones and giving them new life. Some of his chapters or chapter descriptions are:
1.    God is utterly different from me. And that is utterly wonderful.
2.    Ripping Burning, Eating (on the Bible)
3.    God With a Bellybutton (on Jesus)
4.    How does redemption accomplished outside Jerusalem give life to a young man on a California beach?
5.    The invisible made visible (on the Church)
6.    And his best chapter of all, on Sanctification is titled: Change, Changing, to be Changed.

The Bad:
I hate to leave a section blank. Any section. But, there wasn't anything I could label bad about this book. Maybe some pictures would have been nice?

The Ugly:
His drawings. Like and extremely ugly dog however, they are so ugly as to be funny/cute – and extremely helpful. They are in what was my favorite chapter, Change, Changing, to be Changed.

I  will be recommending this book to our college/young adult groups at church. It's the best doctrinal study for that age group that I've seen – ever. Way to go Josh!
