I have so much trouble reading books like this for some reason, but I keep trying. This one was short and made me think a lot, and be so thankful all over again, all day long every day, for Jesus and what he did on the cross for us all, but also what He did AFTER Easter. I have especially been pondering the verses, which I'd read before, all of them, but how God helped me further understand them in the context of this book and via questions that would be asked at the end of each chapter. They put them there to make you think, and that works. ...how we won't remember this, all things pass away, and He creates the new creation, for example, got me thinking; and also, hell, not separate from God (makes sense because I never could make sense of that Psalm where 'if I go down to [hell] you will be there,' that part, but yeah, the last chapter, it totally makes sense. And no, salvation is not works, but yes, it is. It's what Jesus did. It made hell make more sense, why it exists, et cetera. Yes, still pondering. My dad got me this book when I had questions about what happened after the resurrection. Thanks, Dad!
