Short Review: This a book where I liked the conclusion, but I am not really sure I liked how it got there. The focus is on four negative postures and one positive posture in relation to God. Negatively, we are Under God, Over God, From God or For God. What Jethani wants is for us to be With God. Good conclusion and for the most part the positive stuff I am right behind. The problem is that the four postures end up being caricatures of real people. I know that there really are people that believe these things. But the examples that Jethani gives are mostly weak examples that do not take full account of the wholeness of their faith. Mostly, these examples are unnamed but I am pretty sure I know who most of them are because I am well read and know a lot about Evangelical Culture. I really go back and forth between 3 and 4 stars, but given that it ended well I am rounding up. Not a bad book, just could have been better.
