reviewed Shattered Dreams: God's Unexpected Path to Joy on September 07, 2007
Shattered Dreams
I found it mediocre at best. There were some reasonable thoughts - but they seemed obvious to me, (joy is not the same as happiness...pain points us to Christ because we need him most when we are hurting...etc.), while other points seemed to complicate the thesis he was trying to prove.
And my first problem is with his thesis: "Shattered Dreams are necessary for spiritual growth."
I disagree. BROKENESS is the necessity for spiritual growth...a broken and contrite heart. While a shattered dream MAY lead to brokenness, it is not a 'given.' They ARE NOT the same thing.
I have known peoople with broken and contrite hearts who have never had a shattered dream. They are simply broken over their sin and seperation from a holy God. The sad thing is that many people with shattered dreams never reach that same conclusion.
So MY conclusion (after losing my mom as a young child):
I am not in need of Christ because my heart is grieving...though it may be a by product. I am in need of the savior because I am a sinner.
