Another Book Review
Here is another review of my book. It is by John Kennedy over at Goodreads.com: My favorite line is, "I haven't been this
excited about a book for a long time." Read it all below:
Rating:
Berggren, a former pastor and a first-time writer, has a knack for storytelling. He has done a tremendous job in giving voice to the frustrations that Christians experience. The Christian life is confusing. Our problems don't disappear simply because we go to church or pray harder. There is a lot about the faith that we can't explain, and to pretend otherwise is disingenuous.
To the non-Christian, faith sometimes looks ludicrous. But, as Berggren explains, :With faith it's strangely possible to acknowledge the unexplained, face it, embrace it and move forward. Berggren transparently offers many life lessons of failure. He shows that we don't have all the answers, but that struggles done with genuine questions can be rewarding.
The book is humorous, relevant and thought-provoking and makes a person examine his own belief sentence. I hope we can do it as a small group study. Along with the just-read "Crazy Love," I haven't been this excited about a book for a long time.
