I assume the young woman decided the young man was not "Christian" enough for her, and therefore it was not God's will for them to be together. (God gets the blame for a lot of stuff like that, doesn't He?)<BR/><BR/>At any rate, I believe she was concerned for his soul, but that was probably little comfort to the young man who no doubt felt the sting of her rejection more than the need of his soul.<BR/><BR/>And like Connie said, it probably was not the best way to witness to a friend.anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14900362807680333144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-1121660956068113572005-07-17T23:29:00.000-05:002005-07-17T23:29:00.000-05:00Almost our entire library is pre-owned, as they sa...Almost our entire library is pre-owned, as they say in the car business. Both Rob and I derive a lot of pleasure from used book stores. Although it was irritating to have to buy a whole extra suitcase to lug home the theology books Rob bought while we were in England.<BR/>What a sad little pleading note that is. And in that treasured classic, Mere Christianity, no less! It should be in some sort of archives about how not to witness to friends and influence people. <BR/>My sympathies lie with B, who really had no choice but to refuse to read the book so passionately put upon him by L. It would be the only way for B to maintain his/her personna intact. Yes, sad.Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232289847990430112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-1121622019595943032005-07-17T12:40:00.000-05:002005-07-17T12:40:00.000-05:00i love coming across love notes such as the inscri...i love coming across love notes such as the inscription -- i was in an antique shop and still rue the day i didn't have enough money on me to purchase a framed love letter from like 1890; it was magnificent.<BR/><BR/>(at least, like ayekah, i am assuming that is what it was...dunno, because i didn't read the whole thing...)<BR/><BR/>annie, you can post under your own name. we won't tell you who you were (??)~pen~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07822146312033633535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-1121603790119082822005-07-17T07:36:00.000-05:002005-07-17T07:36:00.000-05:00Ayekah, the book was Mere Christianity, by C.S.
