Summary: 5 Stars
My mom bought me this book years ago and for awhile i would read it everyday. It's amazing the feeling i get after reading it, like somehow i'm worth who i am and the world is not some big place i can't conquer. I matter when i read this book and to me that is the most important thing about it.Book Review: Simply Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought my second copy of this wonderful piece. I bought the first one for my brother. See, my brother and I are very close and I danced with him to this song on my wedding day. Everytime I hear it I'm reminded of that special day and the bond that me and my brother have formed throughout our lives. But, I didn't have a copy for myself. Now I do. I'm proud of my brother for all he has accomplished in life. I just don't want him to forget the importance of other things too. This is a great buy and a must have.Book Review: A Christian Response
Summary: 1 Stars
I appreciate parts of this book, but want all to know that it is not Christian. It properly calls us to marvel at nature, to go on in spite of tragedy, and to fully participate in life(I hope you dance!); but it does not give the basis for these, which is the existence of a good, loving, redeeming Creator.
The book is implicitly and explicitly anti-Christian. It is implicitly so in that it emphasizes doing things yourself while it does not acknowlege God, as demonstrated in the following quotes.
"It's crossing your fingers when... it's up to you-you and your gut and your mettle, and your level or resilience, and your wealth of wisdom-to persevere. To get to the other side."
"A PROMISE IS ONLY AS STRONG as your own faith in your own self, in your own god."
One of the most blatantly anti-christian sections is the flippant and erroneous interpretation of Eve's sin. I quote:
"LIVING MIGHT MEAN TAKING CHANCES, BUT THEY'RE WORTH TAKING Ask Eve. Evolve. Take a chance, take a ticket, take a fast train to the coast. No guts, no glory." That chance was not worth taking! It resulted in our current mess.
Much as I decry the godless philosophy of this book, I do wish to affirm the theme "I hope you dance!", but please, seek the Truth. Dance for the Lord. Dance with Jesus Christ!
