OK. I have always been one that is true to myself, not ashamed of my own limitations and not embarrassed by most things. Can I just ask if I am the only one who is having a hard time reading this book??? It has been my understanding, in the past, that when one is defining a word, they take the word, and use smaller, easier to understand words to explain it. It seems that in this book, I get excited...like OOOO I finally get an explanation of what incarnational (just as one example) means....then they use other huge words, that I do not know what THEY mean, to define it????!!!!???? I am feeling inadequate. Maybe this book just wasn't made for the stay at home mom who hasn't read much besides Veggie Tales: The Chicken Noodle Soup~er Bowl, for the past few years!

Alanna,
Thank you for your honesty as you read this book. Now can I be honest with you? I have a hard time with the book as well. I have been through Seminary and all that other stuff- it is not an easy read.
But it is a book that will stretch us. I know it is stretching you - so keep reading and keep stretching. Together we are going to grow into the church that God has designed us to be :)

Don't give up. If you read it and at least comment about it, it creates discussion points for other people. I'm not saying anyone else is going to have a much clearer grasp on the book but maybe, just maybe this blog will help all of us understand a little more.
