Deep Thinking

The God Who Weeps: How Mormonism Makes Sense of LifeThe God Who Weeps: How Mormonism Makes Sense of Life by Terryl L. Givens

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


4.5 stars. This book was so well researched and so comprehensive for a 148 page book. I loved the academic approach while appealing to the poetic. This is a must read before any mission, any lesson, any religious discussion. If anyone has any religious leanings then it shows how similar we all are in our yearnings for God's love. The world would have us believe that we are so disparate but we are very similar.

Caution: you HAVE to read this with a highlighter in hand.

Let It Go: A True Story of Tragedy and ForgivenessLet It Go: A True Story of Tragedy and Forgiveness by Chris      Williams

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I agree with all of the reviews below. I keep going back and forth  between 3 stars and 4 stars. It was difficult to read. I started it last June and just finished it in January. The story of what happened to Chris as a young man had a greater impact on me than did the later accident. I admire Chris and I have great respect for what he did and the story he has written. I would have liked to "feel" more of the anguish as opposed to reading that he felt pain and anguish--I hope that makes sense.  If you've gone through a tragic event and need direction, read this.
