These are such cool thoughts about God and philosophy. I found this one by Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin and his thoughts on evolution and creationism are very unique. This is such a beautiful thought. That seems very cool and Christian too.
This is an extraordinary book. I say that as someone who has had very little to do with writing it. All I did, really, was “show up,“ ask a few questions, then take dictation. This book has been on the New York Times bestseller list for 91 weeks,This book took years to write. It did not come easily
if there is anything relatable about standing your ground and being a good person in the bad world, perhaps it is that such people see beauty all around them. So, if you see beauty in everything you realize that, in essence, all of Life is a conversation with God. When people remember that and attribute their success to the owner of the Universe (who they think is God) it's easier to be grateful even. Who knows its divine timing almost.
Soft pick. I don't like the author as a person or his idea of love but he's a wonderful writer and some of the things he writes are not only beautiful but made me think. I disliked the last few chapters, where he becomes more preachy, but overall it's an interesting book. It'll make you think, if nothing else.
I have a lot more to say about this book, both good and bad, but unfortunately Litsy isn't the right place for long reviews.
