She told me that it held some very profound ideas. After I read it I realized what she was talking about. It does have ideas and concepts in it that you are not going to find in your average Southern Baptist worship service. I got a kick out of Michael Youssef and the thirteen heresies. He was big on the necessity of "justice". I have never understood how anybody with one brain cell could equate eternal torment with the idea of justice. My wife had the same reaction to the book that your wife had. She read it in one night and started buying copies for other folks to read. It is funny how different people react to different things. I enjoyed the book but I was not blown away by it. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I read this one quite a while back at the urging of a dear Southern Baptist friend of mine.
