Joan’s real mother, Sonja Canary, attributed everything to Joan’s past-life experiences. Joan’s inability to talk it goes without saying, but also her reclusiveness, her sensitivity to light, her size, her colouring … you name it. Joan’s mother, Doris Canary, attributed everything to the brain damage. She was the one who grabbed the umbilical cord and pulled Joan head-first onto the floor.

Building on the legacies of forebears such as Frank O’Hara, Sharon Olds, and Mark Doty, Limón’s work is consistently generous, accessible, and “effortlessly lyrical” ( New York Times)-though every observed moment feels complexly thought, felt, and lived. Section one focuses on her moving from New York to Kentucky. Ada Limón has often been a poet who wears her heart on her sleeve, but in these extraordinary poems that heart becomes a “huge beating genius machine” striving to embrace and understand the fullness of the present moment.

Finding your purpose in life takes far longer than 40 days and it cannot be easily summarized (besides the obvious - to love and worship God). This book is symptomatic of feel-good consumerized Christianity so prevalent in America today. At its worst, Warren mangles scripture to fit his own agenda (40 days to find purpose in your life) and promotes personal experience over the truth found in scripture. Challies expresses my concerns clearly in this postĪt its best, this book is filled with porous theology that is modestly helpful to someone who has no knowledge of Christianity whatsoever. Any book that causes people to take their eyes off God and onto a man made method is a danger. I am concerned that some churches are abandoning Bibles for their studies and studying this book instead. I have since read many concerning things about the author and his links with ecumenism and new-age.I'm not surprised this book was and is a best seller as it provides an easy Christianity and broad is the road that leads to destruction. I gave up on this book half way through and threw it away as I felt as if it was a deception. The Purpose Driven Life and other similar series attempt to provide a short-cut and may encourage new believers to think that once they have achieved the twelve steps they can cease striving after God. It will take time reading God's Word and praying. Simply put.there is no worldly method to achieving a closer walk with God. |
