I have never done a book study before but decided to do one this summer with my friend Rob. We picked Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis which has been a really good read. We have finished the first 3 books so far, with 1 book remaining. There have been many interesting discussions: things we agree about, things we disagree about, things we agree with Lewis about, things we disagree with Lewis about. Sometimes we stay on topic, talking about the chapter, but more often than not, we end up on a completely different tangent.
Today we read the chapters on Charity and Hope, which are among my favorites so far. Lewis ends the chapter on Charity saying:
"But the great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His [God's] love for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins, or our indifference; and, therefore, it is quite relentless in its determination that we shall be cured of those sins, at whatever cost to us, at whatever cost to Him." (page 133)
