We were reading this in a Bible Study I was in. Maybe it's just me, but it was terribly painful to get from one page through the next. It is way too deep and for the average reader, very hard to interpret Dallas' writing style. The sentences are full of unnecessarily "big" words, and his prose is just....well, "boring". I actually couldn't get through it all and stopped going to the class. That's how it became for me. I won't purchase or study his writings anymore; I just can't get through the complicated sentence structures and verbiage. Sorry.
