Plain Bad; Try Another Plan B or Back to Bible's Plan A Sorry I just couldn't get into any rhythm with her writing. It's not so much the style as the substance of what she harps on that is a put-off. Much of what she says comes across in an engaging way, but then WHAMMO! comes the inappropriate or out of place slam against someone or something she has intense disdain for (and NO Christian sympathy or extension of Jesus' hallmark trait of forgiveness/compassion?!?). This strikes me as someone still searching but not finding objective, absolute truth outside of herself. Reading this collage of feelings and opinions, it's clear what Jesus says in the Bible and what is shared in these pages are diametrically opposed. But to her way of thinking, that's o.k. because it's up to US as our own self-authenticating revealers of reality to find our OWN way - some Dalai Lama here, some mysticism there, some superstition here, some Buddha there, some new age meditation-cleansing here, a good luck charm scarlet bracelet there, some cuss words here, some ad nauseam venom against the president there, some liberal radicalness here, some misquoting the Bible there, etc. Why she would choose to twist a key Bible verse (John 1:29) dear to Christians into the fall-guy of a quasi-humorous anecdote about winning a free ham at the grocery store makes one wonder what sort of 'faith' she is advocating. Raggedy Anne, object of Jesus' sacrificial love on the Cross gifting her free and full forgiveness by Grace through repentant faith for her brokenness and sin, has become Ruggedly Animus (at least in print here) against the very Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world.
