" I hope I'm not labelled as a heretic for this review, but I have to admit that I didn't particularly enjoy the book (nor did I end up reading the entire thing). I think there are a lot of helpful things in the book, and I'll certainly be referring to it in the future for various things (for instance, he's got a very helpful section on God's love that I was able to draw from for a recent sermon). But on the whole, I was left a bit unimpressed by the book. I was surprised to discover this, given how much people rave about this book. I was talking with a friend recently who suggested that the book was probably written for a specific time and context, and perhaps I would have enjoyed it more had I been aware of that context. Again, as I said, there's a lot of helpful material in the book, but it just didn't knock me off my feet. "
