It never sees the bondage of addiction, the blindness of unbelief, or the poverty of the truly poor on their own terms. Since we live in a world that is very good at pretending its problems are small, Isaiah\u2019s promise ends up feeling pretty small too. Put another way, many Christians fail to see the transformative power of the gospel because the only sick people they know hide their cancer behind closed doors and strained smiles. Here, they wear it on their sleeves (sometimes literally \u2013 I\u2019m guessing that rainbow on my favorite waitress\u2019s t-shirt isn\u2019t meant to be a Care Bears reference).&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/brokenloaf.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/26\/coming-down-and-looking-up\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read the whole post.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Busy week &#8211;> Not much blog reading &#8211;> Short Recap Sorry, folks&#8211;since I know you all look forward to these recaps SO much! :-P On bekahcubed Book Reviews: Home by Julie Andrews.
