Book Group: The God Who Weeps Wrap-up

On the Book Group page, you will now find my initial review, all the chapter posts, and links to other reviews of this book.  I want to declare this done, but it's not.  I'm taking a break for awhile, but I think this is a book that I will come back to at some point in the future.

One reading was not enough.  I found new and different things to like the second time around as I re-read in preparation for the chapter posts.  The second reading was a much more positive experience for me.  As I mentioned in my initial review, when I have heard amazing things about a book, sometimes I go into it expecting too much.  And because I'm expecting wow, wonderful, take your breath away experiences, I miss the tiny miracles.  And maybe that is the lesson that I needed most from this book.  I need to dig deep.  I need to look twice (or three times or four times).  I need to be open to all the joy and love that the world holds.

Thank you for being part of this book group.  Although we really didn't get any discussions going (yet), this has been a very good experience for me.
