Glenn, I have to say I put the book down after reading about your having lots of sex and impregnating your girlfriend and all the other crazy stuff you were doing at an early age. I guess it just struck me as irredeemably bad behavior and lack of character. It's just something I can't look past. Much as I have a hard time looking past John's saying he would have been fine with Trump's having been successfully assassinated. In the vernacular, you both "just lost me there." I'll still listen to the show, but my enthusiasm is greatly depleted. Regards.
It is what it is, Bill. Can't get past? No worries. I knew that would be the reaction of some. (See my Preface.) All I can say is, God's not finished with me yet...
Swardiq's review came across as very interesting, thorough and fair. His perspective wasn't scolding but neither was it idolizing. He describes a very real person with tons of flaws, but he also describes a very intelligent man who, through grace, has contributed much to this life.

From one of my favorite (there are many) Lyle Lovett songs, this one about a guy's ability to forgive a cheating wife or girlfriend:
God does
But I don't
God will
But I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me
Again, I'm not going anywhere and will continue to subscribe and listen and watch, but, man!
