I have begun to read the book mentioned in the title after I saw it mentioned in the afterwards of Rob Bell's book Velvet Elvis.
So far, it has been a great book. Robert Capon is an Episcopal priest and a very good author. He has laid out his book this way. The odd number chapters are real life counseling sessions he has had through his ministry (names and places changed of course). The even numbered chapters are a "conversation" between the reader and himself as he ventures to answer questions that he thinks will be raised from the previous chapter.
The first two chapter "session" deals with his counsel of a women having an affair. She comes close to loosing her daughter and makes an "agreement" with God that if He'd let her daughter make it through she would stop having the affair. The question to the minister is since her daughter has made it through the ordeal, does she have to keep her "agreement" with God about the affair.
What would you say to her?
His response tomorrow.
