Once past Metaxas' gushing in the first three chapters, I loved this book. Over all it is written in a very pleasant style. Following the story and keeping up with Metaxas' thought line is pretty easy. My only problem is that Metaxas fails to discuss Bonhoeffer's neo-orthoxy. Francis Schaeffer discusses some misappropriation of definitions that Bonhoeffer is prone to in vol. 1 of Schaeffer's Complete Works. Not to impugn the man in any way, but with Bonhoeffer one must keep this in mind. December 2014.
A conversational listing of my quirky reading interests. This blog is for those of us who love reading and enjoy the gift of books. It's not a "perfect" list to show orthodoxy - not trying to prove anything. My opinions are in fun and in a spirit of helpfulness. Let's keep it friendly. I'm often asked two questions, "What are you reading lately?" and "Why don't you blog?" This is my attempt to answer both questions. I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping in and I hope you visit often!
