Summary: theories and opinions -- not scripture
Comment: Missler's book is based upon personal religious theories. Often, I think the author(s) take biblical scriptures out of context to prove their theories. Those theories seem to have some holes, in my opinion.
I think this book is best for people who are really struggling with terrible tragedies in their lives, and looking for a way to explain why bad things happen to good people, but keep in mind that it is not the Bible; just a fellow christian's opinions.

Summary: Oddly Legalistic, Poorly Edited
Comment: There are certainly some good things about this book, and based on limited exposure to Nancy's tapes I expected to like it far more than I did. First, I have a quibble with poorly edited scriptural references, something that always bugs me.
What bothered me the most, rather shocked me actually, is my feeling that Nancy has created her own theology here, another "God-in-a-box" way of looking at the scriptures. I'm glad to see that she refutes the fallacy that we sometimes run into, that when we have troubles it is somehow our fault, that we must be being punished for something. However, in place of that somewhat heretical but too common viewpoint, she has substituted a new rather legalistic and ritualistic program to somehow integrate onself with God and thereby get oneself "out of the valley". If you will do this, then God will do that... Examination of the biblical references provided (hampered by apparent editing problems) indicated to me that she was frequently taking verses and extending their meaning far beyond what is reasonable, and thereby creating formulaic "solutions".
It seems to me that God has gone to a lot of trouble to show, in the Bible as well as our world, that He is capable of anything, and that He cannot be expected to act in a way that is always consistent with our sense of order, or consistent from one person to another. In reading this book, I got the feeling over and over that in her anxiety to make sense out of the mysteries of our lives and tragedies, Nancy somehow lost sight of God's mystery and inscrutability.

Summary: close to the heart - the dark times
Comment: Nancy does a wonderful job of reminding her readers that not all the darkness in our lives is a result of hidden sin. She does a remarkable job of relating how God's actual deep abiding love for us brings us to and through the dark times so that we look more like His Son Jesus when we walk out the other side into His Light. Thank you Nancy!
