We covered chapters thirteen and fourteen last weekend. From chapter thirteen we pondered the statement, "Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors." We discussed how that had been proven true in many of our experiences. We also spoke about the line, "Faith does not grow in a house of certainty." It, too, had rung true in our varied journeys.
Chapter fourteen is my personal favorite section of the book--the discussion of verbs and nouns. We discussed the implications of verbs being neutered into nouns and how that shows up in our own lives. We also discussed that the statement that God doesn't have any expectations or disappointment with us was likely one of the real theological stumbling blocks for folks regarding the book.
What do you think?
