Each vignette, concise and poignant, is like a piece of candy; what initially seems to be a quick and easy read then lasts for days as particular phrases or images linger in your mind and you mull over some of the finer points. I find Theirs... to be a sweet experience every time I revisit the book. It is also interesting to see how I've changed over time as I see different things or see things differently in the stories. The real, everyday stories contained in this book continue to challenge me to see things -- such as service, relationships, poverty, and social justice -- increasingly from a Gospel-centered perspective. Granted, this is a collection of one man's thoughts and insights, but Lupton's struggle to reconcile the Gospel truth with the broken reality of this world (starting with our own hearts) encourages me to do the same in my own personal/professional/spiritual life.
Hard to get through, but the stories are powerful.
