I stumbled across her newest book's (Eat the Cookie, Buy the Shoes) web page which was filled with one liners like:<br /><br /> * Do something you enjoy and not feel guilty about it<br /><br /> * Celebrate Jesus and what He’s doing in you<br /><br /> * Reward yourself for progress instead of punishing yourself every time you fail<br /><br /> * Give yourself permission to lighten up when facing challenges while staying spiritually balanced... don't be so hard on yourself<br /><br />While there is a part of me that wants to grudgingly appreciate that she recognizes the dangers of legalism and bondage to a list of rules, I am so furious that this is the brand of faith that so many are touting! <br /><br />God IS a good God and He does have pleasures forevermore for us, but His glory is not displayed by a gaggle of well dressed, overfed consumers who say with their mouths that they are free while their hearts are far from the deep implications of the Gospel in the whole of our lives. Frankly, the idea of "balance" in our spirituality always sets me off anyway though. <br /><br />Sorry for the rant. I'm aghast.Lorehttp://sayable.netnoreply@blogger.com
