Finished the second book in the Ted Dekker trilogy. Now I am just waiting on the third book from the library. I think one of the most interesting parts of this book was the metaphor used for dying to our old lives and being reborn. In this particular story, in order to die, you actually had to go drown yourself in a lake. What a scary proposition! Once you had seen someone come back from the drowning, maybe it makes more sense...but the first person diving in to do that...! And while that part was scary I think it at least was representative of the type of commitment we are supposed to make, right? You can't really dip your toes into the lake of Christianity, it really is an all or nothing thing, if it is real.
