I haven't, is it a novel? or someone's opinion of what Jesus was saying. If it is the latter, I thought that it is The Holy Spirit that interprets the Bible for us. Either way, I hope you enjoyed it, I'll give it a miss.

i read it and thoroughly enjoyed it..
it made so many things in the 12 steps make sense for me...
i think it should be required reading by any AA member...that has an open mind..

dearest for your info this book was read by the founders of aa and he was dr bob and bills favorite speaker. When he would come to town they would go and listen to him. But hey if it was good enough for the founders what the hey isnt it worth a look. and isnt contempt prior to investigation what kills alkis

No I haven't read this, but it sounds like sommething i would enjoy reading, Even if it might be someones opinion of what Jesus was saying...It is truly a gift that we can learn and grow from others opinions and ideas.....
sometimes we have to overlook even some of Gods children with their closed mindedness....but for me.....I thank you for sharing...I will give it a try.

one should be reminded there are no rules in aa, and from bot reply should be "required reading" there is nothing that is "required" in aa

What did you think of it?

I really don't know at this point. When I started to read it i came across this paragraph that stated(pages 4&5) "certain obscure texts from genesis, a few phrases taken here and there from paul's letters, and one or two isolated verses from other parts of the Scriptures, have been taken out and pieced together by divines, to produce the kind of teaching which it seemed to them ought to have been found in the Bible."
So, does this mean that modern day Bible teaching has been misrepresenting Jesus in quest to teach the Bible Truth?
This is not intended to start any bickering between our fellow "posters", I would just like some feed back on differant beliefs. So, those really wanting to may "message" me on this if you really think this might turn ugly.
I hope this doesn't offend anyone.

Cubbie, I am not, as I hope no one is, here to offend anyone. Someone asked a question, I answered it. My mind is never closed, I read Matteh Henry's commentary when reading scriptures (hardly a closed mind) I also learned how the Hebrew was changed to Latin and then into English, I wanted nothing to be lost in translation. I have little time to read a good novel by a superb writer, Let alone a book I've never heard of and has not been recommended to me by a Christian friend.
