Beginning
(view spoiler)[Interesting way to start off a book -- with a bunch of tall tales. Honestly not a fan of that, personally. (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

Writing

(view spoiler)[I like how the book was written in a way that was easy to read. Sometimes nonfiction books can be b.o.r.i.n.g. to read. This was fine. (hide spoiler)]

Also,

(view spoiler)[I agreed with a lot of what was said in the book, but there was at least one thing I picked up on that I don't agree with (it was towards the end). (hide spoiler)]

Finished

(view spoiler)[This book was okay. I hope you enjoy it more. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Really? I liked it, because it shows how silly it is to believe in the Big Bang theory. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[What was it? (hide spoiler)]

[Megan]

40% (view spoiler)[ It’s not that we have received what we haven’t deserved, but rather, that we haven’t received what we have deserved. All of us have been shown much more mercy than we’ve ever deserved-just like the people of ancient Egypt. When a suffering person says, “What have I done to deserve this?” he is revealing his inherent pride. He should be asking, “Why have I gotten off so easily?”/i>

So true! (hide spoiler)]

[Megan]

60% (view spoiler)[Without overstatement, the idea that we can save ourselves by our good deeds is the most damnable heresy ever invented, and stands in direct opposition to everything the Bible teaches, everything that true Christianity represents, and everything that the all-wise and all-loving God has planned for humanity.

I agree. I've always disliked it when people try to make it sound as if works can save you. (hide spoiler)]
