I read Grace Eventually....the womans work disgusts me....she was full of hate for anything that didnt agree with her....

Let me tell you something ...if some man snuck into my house and took pics like that of my wife or daughters and posted them on FB I would literally knock his block off....that is disrespectful to his wife in particular and women in general.

Nothing is sacred to "my type?" Plenty is sacred!

What about the images --- looking down her blouse??? Are you serious?? I'd have a problem with that as well. But legs and kissy lips (which some call "provocative"... I think we are too Puritanical).

But, DeadEye, I also respect you as a brother. I'm disagreeing with you on points on a forum, but outside of that, I respect with where you are and what your comfortable with. I'm sad you think of me as degenerate and unholy in return, but I can't control that, and don't care to.

As for using the "F" word that was his point. Apparently you can't handle a grown up conversation and you run like a fourth grader to the teacher because someone said a naughty word. He is more relevant then you will ever be.

If being relevant means casually using filthy language...regardless of your point....count me out of the relevance group

Have you looked at the pics?....kissy lips is hardly the problem.

Not sure what hate you are referring to, but that's her whole point. She is sharing her heart transparently. She did, in fact, wrestle with hatred, anger, jealousy, etc... in fact, she probably still does. That's the beauty. That's why her books are selling so many copies. People see themselves in her story. In a weird way (hmmmm) they are all relating. When she says "F-it. I quit." It tells the story of her surrender in a poetic way that I'm not sure any other word could do with just four words.

That didn't happen. You completely missed the point.

This goes beyond "relevance" or (or relating to the world we are going to the grave with... those outside the bubble we've created), but into the heart of the matter. Why?? We are talking about language, here. Not the Gospel. Not "holiness." Language.

If he did... if he's having a table conversation with a drug dealer... and he talks about how the fall "f'd your life up." Why is that "unholy" and enough for us to turn up our noses? That wouldn't work, maybe, with the frontier man that grew up in Texas that needs encouragement. Time and place. Same as modesty.

I was given that book for Christmas one year....I read alot, and not just things that I agree with...in fact I find my horizons broadened by reading authors that do not look at things from my world view....but this womans bitterness and hatred for so much I feel strongly about turned me off...she wasnt struggling with it....she simply oozed with it.
