Yes he does write so well. I would like to buy the book, but it would just loiter unread on my shelves at present. I have such a long list of books I would like to read!

it makes perfect sense to me too. But as always, it's not what is being said that counts but how it is being heard and lived.

These ideas make perfect sense to me when we consider the Fatherhood of God, and our sort of “genetic” connection to him.
I find the love of God something to get drunk on, indeed.
Thanks for your comments, BanksyBoy and Erika!

Ginger ale will just have to be taken neat as well, as an optional supplement, obviously?!

Best, PB
