Description

Toward Understanding GodMary was intently working with crayon and paper, absorbed in an artistic production which was taking shape before her. What are you doing, Mary? asked her mother. Why, Im making a picture of God, replied Mary. Dont you know you shouldnt try to do that! Nobody knows what God looks like. Well, when I get through they will, said Mary.

Mary was intently working with crayon and paper, absorbed in an artistic production which was taking shape before her. “What are you doing, Mary?” asked her mother.

“Why, I’m making a picture of God,” replied Mary.

“Don’t you know you shouldn’t try to do that! Nobody knows what God looks like.”

“Well, when I get through they will,” said Mary.

I tell this story not because I feel that way about this book, but because I do not feel that way about it. And yet, this book is being written because I have a very sincere desire to know and understand God better, and because I have a growing conviction that there are many people who have a deepening desire to understand God better.

The thesis of the book is that God is the ground and the goal of all that is, as Creator and Redeemer. The past, the present, life and death; philosophy and theology; all that is—finds meaning in him. “In Him all things hold together” (Col. 1:17, R.V., margin). God is the center of reference in this book, and if it holds together at all, it holds together in God. The method is seen in the chapter heads and then in the divisions within the chapters. May I ask that the reader turn to the table of contents, before reading further, and hurriedly glance at the chapter headings and divisions as a sort of preview, if you desire more than the following peek at the main points?

Breath taking novel
Format: Kindle
I am not a fan of both fiction and non-fiction novels, my English is pretty bad as well. yet, here I am, and I'm planning on reading more in the future only because of this book. It's heartbreaking and breathtaking at the same time. Not saying the book is beautiful or any like that, but you will find yourself in a painful place when you read this. A painful feeling which makes you feel like you got stabbed in the heart but all the air in your lung is stuck out, no voice screams out and you can’t do anything with it.

Strong story, Weak book spine
Format: Paperback
The book itself was wonderful. Otherwise the physical structure of the book is weak and the pages began to fall off the spine reading halfway into the book. Recommend the book, and recommend another physical copy of the book.

The inner view of hopeless romantic heartbreak.
Format: Paperback
The stories could be depressing but somehow, they rise above. It's the beautiful soulful clear intelligent writing, I guess. These stories will ring true for any reader that has lost their favorite significant other. The middle story is especially amazing to me. It consists of the running inner dialogue of a woman on the edge. Nearly mad she rambles in the cleverest of ways. Ms. De Beauvoir is [was] a marvelous philosopher, writer, woman.

Truthful view, not philosophical
Format: Paperback
Love Simone, but a bit disappointed about this book. I thought it was gonna be about strong women overcoming bad relationships, but it is actually just a portrait of those bad relationships and the despair of women living it. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention before buying, as the tittle of the book is clearly "Woman destroyed", but I longed for a least some good philosophical debate in part of the characters; I didn't really got anything in that sense from any of the stories. In fact the first and third one have a similar theme, which made things kinda boring. Still struggling to finish the last 50 pages.
