Good chapters! We are all desperately needy for Jesus!

Not making a ton of progress on this book. I need to read more

A little boring, but good reminders!!

“It(Image of God) is not something earned; it is printed there by the Lord Creator. Sin does not have the power to wipe it away. It is the foundational identity of every human being, each one made in the image of God.”

The chapters on creation would be great for anyone struggling with entitlement

Such a beautifully written book

Throughly enjoying

I love Ampert

Luh dis book

If I liked chapter 22 does that make me a liberal pagan 👀👀😅

“If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: If you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth—only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair.”

Cool practice in discernment and how pragmatic practices are drawn from false claims on reality

Book good

This book I think probably resonates more with religious people since there are themes of faith and spirituality in it.

“He ordained the continued preaching of the gospel until it came to your ears and created belief in your heart. He ordained that your story would be embedded into the glorious story of Jesus, and he ruled over every individual and circum stance that made it happen. His sovereignty gave the world Jesus and his rule led you to his Son.”

Mmmm so good!

So much growth for Darrow as a human being!

“So, weep! Your Lord is holy. Don't stop rejoicing! Your Lord is holy.
Live the life of a sad celebrant. Mourn the ways that you are far from the holy goal God has set for you, while you rejoice in the potential you now have to be what you could have never dreamed of being if this Holy One had not met you with his heart- and life-transforming grace. May your tears mix with joy …”

I am rereading this one with a guy I’m disciplining. The first chapter was a remarkably quick and easy read. Made my brain feel good. Then I talked to chat about alternate explanations for a universal moral law.

“When we understand the character of God, when we grasp something of His holiness, then we begin to understand the radical character of our sin and helplessness. Helpless sinners can survive only by grace.”
RC Sproul quote in da book

“And it is what gives you a reason to come to him in humble confession when you have wandered away from his will. "I the LorD do not change" is the rock upon which every comfort and every call of your life as a Christian rests.”

Fiiiireeee

This is a fiiiire book

I never know how things will work out in these books and for many characters it indeed does not work out

HOW CAN WE RECOVER?? WILL MY FAVORITE CHARACTER DIE??

I love Virginia’s chapters

I am actually enjoying this much much more than the last time I tried reading this

I read slow but it at least I’m reading a little :)

I was a little skeptical at first, but it’s been really solid book on Biblical sexuality needing to point to one’s relationship with God. Paul David Tripp writing the forward is what gave me enough confidence this wasn’t going to be a train wreck. Hate the cover tho.
