I'm sure the book would go even more in depth than her 50 minute radio interview. I may pick it up sometime.

Very nice! <br /><br />Thanks for your kind words!<br /><br />anthrogeek10Anthrogeek10https://www.blogger.com/profile/11406037720184185596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2034286601533366899.post-84605836038120146122010-08-19T19:40:36.302-07:002010-08-19T19:40:36.302-07:00I had your blog on Google Reader and tonight I saw...I had your blog on Google Reader and tonight I saw new posts so here I am. :)<br /><br />I never wanted to travel to the Middle East not even Israel which would be more of the "holy land" for my faith. No desire. Nope. <br /><br />But that all changed when I met Samer and then his friends ONLINE. :) And we became great friends. God also prompted us to go, I think. It was a wonderful way to be a good ambassador for my faith and for my country. Instead of seeing warring American Christians, they could see someone who loved them. At least that was what I wanted. <br /><br />So my husband and I went there last year. I have lots of pics on my blog if you are ever bored enough to see some of the sights and foods and people we met. (Link is on the homepage..top right.) I absolutely LOVED it! The people were fantastic!<br /><br />I'm sorry your summer was so stressful, but I'm glad you are finding more peace now. Nice talking to you. :)Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2034286601533366899.post-47537666338013067072010-08-19T19:31:39.861-07:002010-08-19T19:31:39.861-07:00Susanne,
Thanks for coming back to my blog. I hav...Susanne,<br /><br />Thanks for coming back to my blog. I have not felt *it* almost all summer. After reading this book, I decided to share. I have had an enormously stressful summer (financially and my health) and alhumdulliah I made it through with help from family and friends. I took a bit of a mental break this summer. <br /><br />Anyhow, on to the topic....you went to Syria last year? What prompted you to travel there? Yes...you must. Try the library. That is where I found my copy...which is not really mine in reality. lol <br /><br />I personally have forgiven myself more and more as my spiritual path deepens. I know I will make mistakes over time and I know God loves me regardless. It seems funny that the older I get, the wiser I become (although I would never say I am wise, especially based upon my choise of my soon to be ex-husband). I wish I had my life experience before I made the mistakes. :-) Double talk huh? <br /><br />I think you have a great additude about life. Keep it up!<br /><br />I am happy that you have educated yourself about different cultures and faiths....sometimes fear prevents humans from doing that and it is a shame because education has the power to break barriers and generate love.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting. <br />anthrogeek10Anthrogeek10https://www.blogger.com/profile/11406037720184185596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2034286601533366899.post-80694076088252604802010-08-19T19:05:19.621-07:002010-08-19T19:05:19.621-07:00Someone on another blog has recommended strongly t...Someone on another blog has recommended strongly that I read this book because I talk so much about my trip to Syria last year.:) I am glad to see you liked it as well. I will have to order it next time I place an Amazon order. So glad you shared your thoughts on it here!<br /><br />How have you struggled with your mistakes?<br /><br />Not too much. I believe in God's forgiveness and haven't felt condemnation from Him for things He has forgiven me for.<br /><br />Do you question God's (however you define 'God') providence, especially during times of struggle?<br /><br />I do struggle with this from time to time. In fact I was having a rather heated discussion with God not too many days ago, but in conclusion I was reminded where else can I turn? As the Psalmist said, "Whom have I in heaven except you?" It's not like someone else is going to take care of my problems. So I choose to keep having faith that "all things work together for good to them who love God..." as Romans 8 tells me. I keep remembering that God is Love, He is Good. I can trust Him.<br /><br />Has learning about or spending time with others from a different belief structure or culture helped you see your own a bit more clearly?<br /><br />Definitely!!! It's one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I thank God for bringing Arab Muslims into my life. I've learned about another culture AND religion. I consider it a joyful gift from God!<br /><br /><br />Glad to see you blogging again! Hope you are well! :)Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.com
