  1. I am currently reading this book, I do like the colloquial nature of it. Although I felt a little odd reading sentences I had actually heard from clergy very much alive in this book. I would hope that not many clergy would now be apologizing for not making financial provision for their family as it is totally unnecessary. It does not show a lack of Faith to use the gifts God has given you not to store up treasure, but to make sure that feed my sheep in the form of spouses and children is realized.
