I think Christians need to learn how to desire and how to be passionate. That it is possible to be passionate because God created us to be passionate. But this book is not really about passion and desire. It is about holiness and sovereignty. Those are both important topics. But I am tired of only understanding desire in light of a negative understanding of holiness. Holiness is not about absence but abundance. And we can have abundant holiness when we understand how to embrace right desires and right passions.

Maybe I didn't give the book long enough, but I read Half and while there are some good things there it was frustrated more than encouraged.
