I’m trying to stretch more in your direction though; hearing perspectives like yours helps me.

Sometimes they seem so powerful. This piece presented the other side of the battle, the positive, more powerful, victorious one.

I appreciate your faithfulness and thoroughness each week to summarize each chapter and provide your own take and favorite quotes. It was very helpful to those of us reading the book. And those not reading the book itself were able to get the main points from it just from your blog. <br /><br />I thank God for women like you who are theologically-grounded and have a thirst for the Truth. If you do another book study, count me in!Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-87762885298915850452011-06-08T14:24:56.449-05:002011-06-08T14:24:56.449-05:00Hi Lisa,

So I guess that means we’re slow learners? :-) <br /><br />I liked how Horton concluded the thought: <br /><br /><em>“But as counterintuitive as it is for us, we must turn outward at precisely these times and hope only in the Lord, whatever our conscience threatens, whatever blandishments Satan offers, whatever our experience tells us is the obvious case.”</em><br /><br />So maybe there’s hope for us yet? ;-)Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-19977879419114974612011-06-08T07:59:11.877-05:002011-06-08T07:59:11.877-05:00So you want to know how I succeed in living a Chri...So you want to know how I succeed in living a Christ-centred life? By turning turtle when it all goes wrong, diving inward, looking to my own resources, flailing around, realising I don't have any answers myself, give up, and THEN look to Christ, and THEN see that He is the Answer :) I do think there is an easier solution ;)Diana Lovegrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14849754637056012241noreply@blogger.com
