The format was not edited to read like a regular book, so it feels almost like 'spoken word' poetry written down, with line breaks for every pause instead of commas.
While a few good things were said here and there, there were also a couple huge red flags, theology-wise.
One section talked about trusting your own heart and your deepest intuitions, stating, "Perhaps that is all that Jesus wants to tell you today: 'Trust in yourself and in your own heart.'" (47) Uh, no, that's completely unbiblical advice. The Bible says that the heart is deceitful above all things, and we should not trust our own understanding, but instead should trust in the Lord.
Another section told the story of the woman at the well, and insinuates that because Jesus didn't condemn the woman, He didn't condemn adultery. Again, this is unbiblical, not to mention illogical. There is a difference between the condemnation of a sin and a sinner. Adultery is wrong, according to the Bible, and God condemns it - but because He is so loving and merciful, He is willing to forgive us when we sin. This is not the same as saying that it just doesn't matter if we sin or not - which Vanier didn't claim, either, to be fair, but he left the subject somewhat open for interpretation, and not all readers are going to have a biblical understanding of this.… (mehr)
