This is a great book. Explains the Jewish roots of Christianity, the respect we owe to Jews, etc.

How odd of God, to choose the Jew,
but not as odd as those who choose
the Jewish God but hate the Jew.

Edith Schaeffer did a great job writing this book, and I can't wait to read more of her books. Her husband, Francis Schaeffer, has also written several books I've enjoyed.

Too much God. Not enough art. Could have been distiller down to one paragraph.

Great balance of application of theology of suffering and Christian hedonism.
