I found myself fully engaged right away. The story was captivating and held my interest as it was very relatable and evoked laughter as well as many tears. The picture that the author painted of God was touching as well as thought provoking. I found myself thinking about what I read well after I finished and was glad I was surrounded by people who had also read it as it brought about many a lively discussions. I highly recommend it.

Your phrase "AN APPROPRIATE DISTANCE" really caught my attention. Because as I'm assuming you know, that when Jesus died, the curtain which lead into the Most Holy Place was torn from the top to the bottom. The Most Holy Place was were God's glory dwelled and where God's voice was heard by the High Priest only once a year. When the ultimate sacrafice was made, the tearing of the veal into the Most Holy Place was symbolic of God allowing those who received his mercy into His wonderful presence. The New Testament discusses how now we can enter boldly into the throne-room of God. So what are you waiting for Girlfriend? In the Holy Place were WE CAN ENTER IN By the blood of Jesus Christ He has given us atonement for our sin and a love gift sacrafice Ok, had a written a couple of really good verses but they got blown away, so I’ll just wing it.
