description: Some books are dangerous. This is one of them.After you read it you may never be the same again. Your comfortable, old, spiritual house shoes might bind a bit. Maybe you'll see life and the people around you in new ways, with new eyes. You may even find you've become uncomfortable with life as usual."Life as usual" can seem a matter of just keeping the rules. Stop on red, go on green. Don't kill. Don't lie. Don't take things that aren't yours.But life is rarely that simple. Life isn't black and white. It comes in shades of gray. And that is where we live -- in "the vast complexities of the grays".* Remember the store clerk who made an error in your favor? Did you keep it? Give it back? But you only discovered the mistake later. And it was just a buck or two. No big deal, right?*What about that person who's lost everything including hope? Do you walk on by or sit right down?*Tight schedule, stranded motorist -- what do you do?*How about the derelict who belches a request for spare change in your face?*Or a woman who claims she has demons? Now that's an easy one. Not."Confessions of a Struggling Christian is a rare exercise in transparency and authenticity.""The chapters are tight. The points are vivid. The illustrations hit close to home. You'll be glad you picked it up. (Bet you can't read just one chapter.)" -- Max Lucado
