Eat, Pray, Love

I read this book about 3 years ago now. I was not really at a 'sane' place in my life at that time.

Since the movie is coming out soon, I figured that I would re-read it because honestly, I don't remember what it was about at all.

So I picked it up about 2 days ago. (I haven't had much time to read in the past 2 days, so I was only on section 2) She (the Author) starts to tell about her marriage. She starts to tell about how horrible her marriage is and that she no longer wants to be apart of it. Being married, I still can't see how this makes any logical sense. She doesn't go into detail about the reasons for not wanting to be a part of the marriage anymore. Just that there were personal issues. Which I could assume most marriages face at some point or another. Nonetheless, she wants out.

She states that something changed in her that night on the floor. That she began to pray. To God. She then proceeds to state that she considers herself, "Culturally, not theologically" a Christian. UM WHAT? Then.... continues to state that she was born protestant and that she doesn't believe that Christ "the Good-teacher" is the only way to heaven. And that no one she talks/surrounds herself with says anything more strict than that. Then apologizes if anything she has said offends anybody and that they should just mind their business.

I then took the book to the kitchen. Found the trash can, and tossed it.

That is the reason why people do not take Christ and Salvation seriously.
They can leisurely say, oh yes, I'm a Christian and have no belief in the REASONS for Christianity in the first place.

I pray that one day God softens her heart and she sees that the Truth is that through Christ alone there is freedom. Until that time, I will not be reading any of her books.
