Pamela S. (Cosmina) - reviewed on 1/10/2011 + 70 more book reviews

I usually don't listen to non-fiction, but this was just fantastic. I really laughed at some of the absurd things that Ortberg points out about our behavior toward each other. In one chapter he presents the mathematics of sin and it is truly a funny and vivid point. Although the author is a Christian minister, he also points out what is unappealing and un-Christian about our churches and our culture. But it doesn't sting, because he is never strident or insulting. He just has a wonderful way of presenting the truth about our failures and successes in being Christians in Community. I recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with getting along and having charity to your spouse, children, extended family and fellow man. It really helped me to resolve to judge less and love more in my life.
