I loved reading what you wrote about Faitheist! You have such a different perspective and background than me, so you saw so many things that I was incapable of seeing. Glad you shared the link here.

Finally read it: https://lukesgospel739.wordpress.com/2015/09/18/faitheist/

He does come across as a likeable guy, but I’m afraid I wasn’t that keen on the book (used to sterner stuff perhaps;)

David

I don’t think it will matter if you stay with the appropriate chapter or not with Knowing God. Isn’t it all so good! Even when I don’t agree with Packer, he still makes me stop and think.

And The Giver…that book definitely makes me think too! Keeper of the Memories–I don’t think I’d be cut out for that role. 🙂

The author does explain how he came up with Faithiest but I don’t remember now. ha. I didn’t feel uncomfortable reading it; he had a good writing tone that makes you feel at ease, even though parts of his story were quite painful.

Another blogger friend said the same thing about David and Goliath–that it was repetitive to her at the end. I guess that made me overcompensate for that in my head so I didn’t feel it. ha. I read The Will Power Instinct a couple years ago. This was one of the take-aways for me: “Willpower is actually three powers—I will, I won’t, and I want.” Good book! Hope you continue to find it interesting.

Yay–congrats on finishing your book on Hegel. I wouldn’t be able to do that one so I leave it solely up to you. 🙂

How wonderful that you were able to adventure about as a congregant. Sometimes in the doing of something different we are open to seeing God in different ways too.

It will be interesting to hear your take on Faitheist since you’re coming at it from the opposite viewpoint of the author. I found him to be a humble and likeable guy.

Just ordered Faitheist paperback on Amazon 🙂
