Rereading this absolute banger. I cannot over emphasize how much this book has shaped my thinking about God and how I do ministry.

“The gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like.We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God.”

Marathon reading session for the book report due tomorrow night u know the drill 🫡

And so the seminary reading began (reader, this means I am behind 🫢)

I’ve had a library hold on this book for genuinely months and I’ve completely forgotten what it is about. Starting reading and turns out it is not at all what I expected. Not mad about it, I think. But also it’s giving Groundkeeper flashbacks a little bit. But also vaguely Maude Dixon? Stay tuned.

Ask me about the second Liberty chapter because I have a lot to say.

I cannot tell you how many times my jaw has genuinely dropped while reading this.

“He is as convinced that Trump won the 2020 election, he told me, as he is that Jesus rose from the dead 2000 years ago.”

“Beseeching God to ‘save the nation’, Murray spelled out the path to salvation: ‘For those who aren’t registered to vote, God, I pray in Jesus’ name you would touch them right now.’”

No shotttttttttt😵‍💫

I so dearly wish the chapter on Liberty & the Falwells wasn’t as true as it is🫠

“Liberty… known today less for charity and Christian disciple-making than for corruption and Republican king-making… has struggled to execute on the supposed double meaning of its name.

“Patriotism divorced from piety is futile, after all; those who win the world but lose their souls are champions of nothing.”

Just some light holiday reading🤸🏼‍♀️✨

Re-reading for a book club. But the audio book this time. I’m starting too early for the club but I can’t stop listening
