so much interesting theory in chapter 9. i have never in my life read a book like this. it has so many new things and hashed out theories tied into the faith- just wow! one thing that resonated w me from this chapter was that just how strings oscillate in string theory, paradoxes are also oscillatory, just in another portion/dimension of our being. so interesting.

ch 7 was all about imagining the next dimensions as well as some arguments on ID. some parts reminded me of Flatland!

ch 6 discussed studies regarding the significance of prayer on healing. if someone agrees with scientific studies on cigarette smoking being negative, they should agree with the number of studies citing the statistical significance of prayer, namely byrd’s and harris’ studies (w 393 and 1005 ppl, respectively)

loved the prophecy chapter (ch 4). please include these/break it down in presentation. i think it will be a nice addition.

grace. ppl doing things for us/giving us things that we don’t deserve is also grace (holding doors open, paying it forward, picking up trash, etc.) The Lord has extended unfathomable grace to you every day- be willing to be His Hands and Feet and extend grace to others just because.

the first chapter of this book has had a remarkable effect on me. often when i think of paradox, i think of contradiction; something negative. but this book has broken that down for me. paradox is often misunderstood, and Scripture uses it to cause us to dig deeper. there is often a hard truth behind it. loved this chapter, and excited for more nuggets :)
