5.0 out of 5 starsThis changes everything.
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2017
I've walked with Jesus a long time and as I get older, I long more and more for our Home. I've read different books and commentaries on, but this one....I hardly have words. It has literally changed everything about my daily interactions with people, my various struggles large and insignificant (annoying people at the airport, for instance), how I pray, my understanding of scripture, purpose, how I spend my money. Literally everything. There is a feeling in the pit of my stomach like the butterflies you get as a kid when you know 'tomorrow you are going to an amusement park' or the night before Christmas. I think this must be what true, genuine hope feels like. I feel like I have this great secret and I'm bursting to tell people.... indeed, I have brought it up in nearly every conversation I have had since reading it. I rarely read a book twice but I'm going back in to see if I missed anything the first time.
I read Sacred Romance about 18 years ago, and that, too, was life changing. I feel like we've come full circle. I am grateful for the wisdom and insight God has given John.
