Quotes from others in the book
"To know much and to taste nothing--of what use is that?"--Bonaventure
"If the book we are reading does not wake us, as with a fist hammering on our skull, why then do we read it?"--Kafka
Some starter quotes from Peterson
when we open the Bible --we enter the totally unfamiliar world of God, a world of creation and salvation stretching endlessly above and beyond us. (7)
I want to counter this widespread preactive of taking perosnal experience instead of the Bible as the authority for living...I want to confront and expose this replacement of the authoritative Bible for the authoritative self. (17)

I'll have to add this one to the list, now. Love the title!
hmmm, interesting...
I love your poem, by the way. I can see you in the moment.
If a book told me to eat it, I am sure I would. If you can't trust books, who can you trust?
The EAT THIS BOOK quote is from the Bible. Ezekiel, Isaiah and the book of Revelation all call for this.
This looks quite interesting. I think I will have to check out this book on my next trip to Barnes and Noble. I am always fascinated by books like this.
Thanks! It is now on my next purchase list!
Oh dear and I vowed not to buy another book...I really must stop reading comments onblogs and following chains through!
