And to comment on the book...I couldn't finish it. When they were discussing their marriage issues his whole tone seems to imply that even though he wasn't treating Grace right it was her fault for being frigid and cheating etc. I really didn't like the way he shamed her for having cheated on him in High School, when they were both aware before they got married that they weren't virgins. And then at the end of chapter 1 he says "
Then, after more than a decade of marriage, a root issue was finally revealed. Graces problem was that she was an assault victim who had never told me or anyone else of the physical, spiritual, emotional, and sexual abuse she had suffered". So it turned out it was all her fault they were having marriage issues...
He lists sexual abuse third in his list of sexual sins to confess. Sexual abuse is NOT a sin to be confessed, it is something to be disclosed. The fact that he thinks it was sin on his wife's part is ick.
And the part where she comes home with a "mommish" kind of hair cut and he reduces her to tears because he tells her she is putting "a mom's need for convenience before being a wife."
And that's all I have to say about Mark Driscoll
