I actually like this book -Brenna

So far I have really enjoyed this book. I do get a little confused sometimes when the pronoun ‘she’ is used because I don’t know who the heck ‘she’ is sometimes. Besides that part the book is great. 

My favorite part of the book are the references to nature. I absolutely love nature and I love to travel everywhere to see everything that God has created. I am truly in awe of it, so as I read this I sat there in awe and pictured all the words in my head, the sea, the stars, all of it. It made me think back to my time in Taiwan this past summer. I remembered when I stood on the pebbled shores of the bright, blue Pacific Ocean, and I let the cold water run through my toes while I smelled the crisp salty air, and listened to the waves crashing down around me. It was nothing like I had ever seen before, and I was amazed at the beauty of God’s creation. 

My second favorite part was all of the references to God. Sometimes it was more blunt when it says that God takes care of everything except man (well along the lines of that), but I completely disagree. God made man in his image and said it was very good above all other things he created. I loved when the question came up about if God does exists then where does evil come from but where does good come from is he doesn’t exist? I’m pretty sure that one statement caused me to love this whole book even more than just the references to nature. This question is the question of questions when it comes to good an evil and I just love it. 

This book really has me excited, mostly because I’m so ready for the few trips I’m taking this summer, but it’s really just a good book.

  1. Well said. Nature is incredible. There is nothing like staring into the stars on a cloudless, dark night and seeing the myriad of heavenly lights shine.

    As for the suffering problem, there's no answer to the question that can satisfactorily solve the problem without God and Christ involved. David Hume posed the infamous "Epicurean Riddle." This riddle is build on the presupposition that God does not exist and therefore, cannot be answered. Without God, there is no answer to pain and suffering. There cannot be an ultimate solution without Him. Boethius hits hard from the get go.

  2. This book is definitely much easier to comprehend than the last! Nature is FOR SURE one of the most powerful, fascinating forces created by God. Sunsets, hurricanes, rain, sunrises..etc. It all has the power to make us stop and contemplate anything and everything, and that's true beauty! Great Blog, B!
