John Eldredge's The Sacred Romance
As I reflected on my own life, I can see how I fit into God’s bigger story. The purpose of reading the book entitled The Sacred Romance was to draw a connection from the life Arrows the authors Brent Curtis and John Eldredge had encountered. I also was able to point out my own life Arrows and described both the process and the lesson. By recognizing my Arrows and growing from them I have been able to have successful relationships. To commence, in the beginning of chapter three we are introduced to “The Message Of The Arrows.” The Arrows can be defined as a barrier that deceives you. “We cannot deny that the Arrows have struck us all… “(Curtis & Eldredge, 25). The first Arrow presented was an experience author Curtis had encountered. Curtis began explaining how on a summer morning, right before school he entered the kitchen expecting nothing more than a bowl of oatmeal.

With the authors allowing us as the readers to look in on their lives, we were able to draw a few Arrows from our lives too.

When we are able to open up about past events then we are more likely to grow from them. When it comes to relationships we should not allow past experiences to result in our future relationships. Meaning that every barrier we encounter throughout relationships should be a life lesson that we are able to grow

Anne Lamott's Traveling Mercies: An Analysis
1371 Words | 6 PagesMany may believe that reading a book about religion would be challenging to accomplish for someone who is not religious. But those people have never read Anne Lamott’s, Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith. If one were to ask non-religious college students to read a book by a random author about spirituality and “Finding God” through conversion, they would most likely roll their eyes and bear through it. In Lamott’s series of essays, one does not have to “suffer through the readings” because her writing style is one of a kind. She has strategically chosen every word because she is aware of how important her spiritual experiences are to so many people, religious or not.
