Bible Question (short): The Sacred Romance |
Question (full): My church on Wednesday nights does not have preaching instead we group together in Bible studies. Our Ladies study group has started a study using this book "The Sacred Romance" by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge. My question is: Is it a safe study? The language used makes me uncomfortable. I keep reading about how the voice often comes in the middle of the night or the early hours of the morning. Then the language used is magic, enchantment, the lost journey of the heart, finding the romance we lost in being active in church activities and business. It talks about coming into focus with our inner life, the story of our heart, our passions and dreams, our fears and our deepest wounds. Our "shimmering self" is the mystery within us. And we need to find this place again and have a romance with God. O.K. Maybe it is the Baptist in me, but I am seriously critical of this language. But everyone else thinks it is great. What do you think? |
