Title: Thoughtful, but troublesome
Review: This work has a lot to offer by way of (Christian) spiritual help for personal tragedy. And I find it well-written, and honestly thought provoking.But it has a tone - a certain tone, that troubled me from the beginning. I was unable to name it, until near three-fourths of the way through the book, when the author distilled my discomfort for me. Reciting her journal, she says:"It will never be possible for me to answer the question, 'What is the greater tragedy? Douglas Miller Jr.'s murder or Jason Kent's life without parole sentence?"This troubles me greatly, as I have no difficulty discerning the relative societal gravity of those two events.But it was bold of her to write of her painful experiences, and though I may disagree with the perspective, it is worth the read.
