Book Review
I greatly appreciated most of Dane Ortlund's book. He uses contemporary wording and analogies along with some key words from psychology. This will be a help to many a modern reader. I expect there will be several parts of the book that I will appreciate for years to come. Hopefully I'll read it again in a year or two.
My one main concern with the book is that there wasn't enough nuance at the end of the book as Ortlund exhorts the reader to be a part of the body of Christ. I agree with this application, but people who are dealing with big T or little t trauma in their lives will find the lack of nuance confusing as they try to process their trauma. It is this lack of nuance that can re-traumatize as well as damage a person's relationship with God's church.
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.

Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
