Me Thinks

I really liked this book. There are many good points and it led me to think about important subjects.  The points made by Terryl and Fiona Givens strengthened my testimony. This book goes really well with the book Planted by Patrick Mason. Here are two quotes from the book, as a sampling:

Relinquishing faith would solve some problems--but would multiply others.  For how does one even begin to address the manifold experiences and tender feelings we have known, the powerful ideas and explanations our theology provides, and the visitations of peace and serenity that are balm to broken hearts like our own?  Abandoning our faith because it doesn't answer all the questions would be like closing the shutters because we can't see the entire mountain.  We know in part.  We know more than we think, even if we know less than we would like.

We have learned to relish a commitment that is born of faith freely chosen rather than of certainty compelled by evidence.  We believe deeply in the value of faith as a choice.
