Review: An honest, humble, and devotional book.

In Wrestling with God, author and ordained minister, Scott Blair, shares vignettes from his personal experience.  Collectively they describe a circumspect view of himself as a fallible and yet ever striving servant of God.  What touched me most, was the depth to which God is the central focus of his life.  The book is never preachy.  Scott's stories are consistently about the challenges he has faced in his service to God.  He is never instructing. but rather he is sharing - of his own personal striving to live and relate to all others as God would have it.I myself was never devout in the way that Scott is.  I, in fact, rebelled from God and religion for the greater part of my life.  That was most likely because religion had been presented to me as a series of stern commands rather than of tender appeals.  Perhaps if I had a mentor such as Scott, I would not have seen that need for rebellion.  His is a kind and gentle ministry.  I found myself heartfelt agreement with almost everything in Scott's perspective.  And where my own biases ran counter to Scott's, regardless of that, I still felt a fellowship with him, owing to his honesty and humility.
