The book gave me a lot of good things to think about, but the bad writing was distracting and made me want to get it over with, fast. I also don't like it when we try to place mans attributes upon God. But I understand some people need that in order to "understand" God, as though God could be understood. I will stick with the mysterious Creator that is in control and far too grand for me to grasp or try to understand. The descriptions in the Bible are good enough for me. <abbr><em>Brendas last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/ynBl/~3/414684413/rabbit-for-allison.html" rel="nofollow">A Rabbit for Allison</a></abbr></em> I read it in three days and was disappointed because it was so poorly written.
