Yes. I am. I gave the book last year as a gift to some of the people in our church.

Worthwhile reading, you are saying?
I saw a review and a couple of excerpts and thought it sounds good.

Excellent book and I recommend anyone with kids, or who cares about kids’ future, pick up a copy and read it.

And It Was Good: Reflections on Beginnings by Madeleine L'Engle.

She starts with the premise that Genesis may not be science or history, but the stories are true in a spiritual or moral sense. Then she proceeds with her commentary in no way questioning the authority of the scripture. I recommended this book to a liberal friend who holds a low view of scripture, primarily because of evolutionary views.

For several weeks I have been reading Ephesians over and over. One new thought: the armor of the last chapter is based on images found in Isaiah and the Psalms where God wears it. It's an invitation to enter battle with him.

Or that those who are reconciled to Him will put on His armor?
