Enjoyed it. A few thoughts:

- Overall good. The odd thing she said was a bit of a stretch exegetically (1 Peter 3's fellow heirs of the grace of life I always thought was eschatological?)
- It's clear she's writing from a generation that is by and large gone now. Anne Ortlund was born in the 20s. This meant that the book had some interesting moments as she reflects on the difference between her generation's transition into adulthood in contrast with her audience of primarily boomers. It also meant that the book is obviously dated in certain places.
- It was an inspiring read given who her children and grandchildren are. I enjoy reading Dane and Gavin Ortlund's stuff, and undoubtedly both theologians are part of a pretty special legacy that spans generations. I guess that kind of thing doesn't come about by accident.

A fun read. It feels like you're sitting across from her in your living room, having a chat about marriage... One of my faves on the subject pre-marriage.
