Welcome to Litsy!

I've tried multiple times to write about this book, but each time I end up getting stuck without much to say. The fact that I've been reading this book off and on for so long should probably say enough.

Much of this book focused on the Arrows - past hurts that have lodged themselves in our hearts, causing us to close ourselves off from the romancing of God. I did find a few sections interesting, but not enough to make this a good read for me.

As a J. Eldredge fan I was looking forward to this book. Unfortunately his co-author was not at the same standard as him and you could tell which of the two you were reading without the reference of who was writing. The book was based on an assumption that we all linger in the “if onlys.” I can see how this book might be helpful for someone who feels that way, but as someone who does not, the romancing of this idea was frustrating for me.(1.25/5)

This book has been a slow read for me. It's not that the content isn't interesting; I'm just not connecting with it. Any time I find a little nugget, I want to remember it here.

I love this story of God visiting Elijah not through wind or fire or earthquake, but in a whisper. I like to think that God still speaks to us this way, in the dark and quiet places, in ways we least expect.

Getting back into this one after a long break. This is another book I tend to put down for a couple of months, pick up for a bit, then take a break. Not sure why because I do like it, but it hasn't been a quick read for me.
