Some of this book spoke to me and some of it did not. The extra content knocked it out of the park for me, so 3.5 rounded up. Review to come. 6/12/26

Faith isn’t my feelings, it’s my beliefs. I think Satan has found a new foothold in the world by making people confuse feelings for facts. Yes, it’s a fact you have a feeling, but your feeling is not fact. Feelings can be manipulated, truth cannot. It can be obfuscated, it can be ignored, but it is still true. My anger now won’t be anger in ten minutes. I like the extra content at the end of this audio book.

Knowledge bombs dropping all over the place. I never made the connections before. Peter denied Jesus three times, first time around a charcoal fire. After Jesus rises, he meets Peter at a charcoal fire and asks Peter three times if Peter loves him. I got the Peter redeeming himself, but missed the charcoal fire bit. It’s significant, bookending and helping to overwrite a bad memory with a good one.
