Extraordinary - a review
I really hate to do this, but I've got to be honest. I really did not like this book. It was hard to read. It used way, way, way too many words. I disagreed with some of the Scripture interpretation. It didn't seem to go where I thought it was going to go.
Maybe that was my problem. I thought it was going somewhere, but it never got there, so I was frustrated.
The best part of the book was some parenting advice I got. I don't think that the advice was intentional, but it was good. It involves the difference between loving our kids unconditionally and being pleased with our kids. I love my kids unconditionally. Nothing's going to change that. But I'm not always pleased with their behavior or attitudes. The same is true of God. I want to live a life that's pleasing to my heavenly father.
But that's all I got. Maybe I'll come back to it in the future and get more out of it. I'm trying to be nice.
I do have a copy to give away if someone else out there would like to read it. Maybe you'll get more out of it than me.
