This book came highly recommended to me by a friend, and its reviews on Goodreads show that it is liked by many others. I also enjoy consulting Peterson's translation, The Message. I can see why this book is loved, but I didn't love it. After reading about half of it, I ended up skipping through sections to the end. I am still unsure why specifically this book didn't connect for me. The only inkling I have is that I tend not to like thoroughly modern styles of writing employed in a devotional type of book. Hey! Maybe I will grow into this book and appreciate it in future years!

I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
