Book Notes: Mere Christianity Part Three

Back when Eric started this project, he gave one rule that I haven’t used since the beginning of the Book Notes project.  Each weeks’ book notes entry would..

…not be a “book review”, but rather our candid thoughts on the chapter, up to and including “the baby was sick all week and I didn’t get a chance to read it.”

I hate to say it, but I am invoking this rule this week.  I and my daughter both had the flu and were in bed sick most of the week.  Because of that, I can’t do justice to this weeks reading in a post today.  So I am hoping a few other people were able to read the section and saw something that really struck them.  If so, post it here in the comments section.  Was it a particular chapter? line? thought?  or maybe something that caused you to re-examine how you look at something.  I would love to hear it.

For Next Week. I should be able to catch up with the reading for next Sunday.  Therefore, I hope to feel much better this week, and to cover up through Book 4, Chapter 3.   Have a good week, and those of you snowed in, be safe.

    I know how to make a smiley with sunglasses. That was suppose to be the number 8.

    meant to perform best based on the rules morality and on God, has stuck with me for decades as great wisdom.

    In fact, though I was caught up on the reading, had a sick spell myself today, so in no condition to write a comment. We could just delay coverage entirely for this reading until next week.

    And now I know how to that particular smiley too. Had only been able to do this one. :-)

    Hope you feel better soon.
