Excellent! Keep up the good work. No, but seriously: Thanks so much. "The book makes me take my faith more AND less seriously" is as gratifying a statement about the book I've heard. It's ... perfect. Thanks. Snow: I suppose my books ARE kind of like my kids. Except they eat less. And it's not illegal for me to put them in a box and mail them somewhere. No, but again: Thanks so much for these loving words. "We need authors like you." Holy cow! That's TWO extremely sweet things coming my way! How nice is this?

I'm happy to see this one is doing so well- and by that I mean, having a real impact out there. We need authors like you. I can't wait to read it. Going to buy it and I'm OK when i get my new job.... *sigh* Your books are kind of like your kids, aren't they?

I thought it was hilarious. I'm making my new-ish-Christian friend read it. Yes, MAKING. All in love though. She and I go back & forth over those hard questions all the time. The ones no one REALLY knows about and if we're smart we restrain ourselves from giving the same old pat-answers from Sunday School. She will appreciate the humor and perspective. The book makes me take my faith more AND less seriously, simultaneously. Which is proof to me that there can be free will AND predestination, both at once. But maybe I shouldn't go there... :D I’ll second that…the statement that “God wanted it done.” I thought it was hilarious. I’m making my new-ish-Christian friend read it. Yes, MAKING.
