This is the kind of book I feel good about recommending to others but that I didn't enjoy much myself. It's a good topic and Miller makes some good points, but oh man I REALLY struggle with philosophy. I just don't have the patience for it, so this approach to grace (or any topic, really) did not work for me. I got a lot more out of Miller's personal anecdotes; stories are much more my style.

The actual text of this small book runs to about 110 pages. But each page is loaded with thought provoking, deeply philosophical, idea changing and attitude changing concepts. Adam Miller turns the traditional thinking about the most basic of Christian propositions, the Fall of Adam and Eve and the understanding of Original Sin by positing a revolutionary approach - "An Experiment in Restoration Thinking" he calls it. He invites his readers to consider their lives in llght of Original Grace. Instead of God's children getting "what they deserve", ameliorated by His grace, the love of God forgive and provides what is needed! And the challenge to us as Christians is to "do likewise"!

Each short chapter leads us along a line of thought that brings clarity and understanding to our relationship with God, the role of the Savior, Jesus Christ in our lives, and how we should "love thy neighbor". But each chapter, while short, will require time, effort and thought to overcome the traditional ways in which we view ourselves, how we view others, and how we relate to God and His Son. Adam Miller has provided his audience with a tour de foce in his revision of Christian theolgy.

4.5 stars, really.

I promise I read more than religious non-fiction. It's just that this is all that I've had on my shelf for the last little while.

This is beautiful prose. Just lovely. And I love the picturesque way that Miller has of writing. It is both novel and engrossing. All too often the "new" style is jarring and disjointed. Not so with this little booklet.

Romans is a key book in the New Testament that I have always found difficult. Miller's paraphrase is a welcome introduction, and has helped me get up the gumption to tackle the original on my own.
