And, you're right, i...Thanks for reading, Inae. And, you're right, it IS an uncomfortable scene, for all the reasons I talked about in the blog. If it makes you feel any better, it makes ME uncomfortable, too, ha ha, but that's what I'm going for. So maybe I succeeded? :p Anyway, it's uncomfortable in real life, too, when this approach is taken for the reason you pointed out. There's got to be a way to share our faith without coming across as arrogant. That's Dras' journey, but it's mine, as well. We're all a work in progress. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy the rest of the book :) And thanks for the Stephen King comparison! If ONLY I could be as good one day!Greg Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09631434183155875197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2824909254164927666.post-69136038026039439612011-04-12T20:31:24.358-05:002011-04-12T20:31:24.358-05:00I've been reading 'The Strange Man', i...I've been reading 'The Strange Man', it reads like prime Stephen King without the compulsive swearing.<br /><br />Having Dras in his underpants during the witnessing scene helps. It was a very uncomfortable scene for me, that witnessing approach to me comes across as the witnesser taking a spiritually arrogant approach--- 'I'm the properly saved person, you're the lowly unregenerate Catholic'.<br /><br />It's hard to take this the way we take the werewolves/silver bullets thing, because we know that the 'you need Jesus' IS something people really believe.<br /><br />But after reading the commentary I'm understanding better what you are trying to do. I really love this book and can't wait to finish it.교인애 Inae Kyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774964307432825575noreply@blogger.com
