Now I can underline, and add notes, and just have a grand old time with it! After checking it out of the library twice, my parents mercifully gave it to me for Christmas.

Love his writing though and have heard great things about the book. I'll have to check it out and finish it!

I too absolutely love opportunites for corporate worship, but yes, it's when I'm alone that I find I'm best able to worship honestly and deeply. Incidentally, I'm reading Philip Yancey's "Prayer", and he talks about a study that was done on prayer preferences and MBTI types (pg. 192).

Would you consider yourself an Introvert? I am and wonder if that's why I worship better alone. I definitely love corporate worship and wouldn't want to miss it, but when it comes to in depth times of worship it's often on my own. Thanks for your comment.

When I am alone in my car, I'm completely unihibited in my worship, unlike I tend to be when I'm with others, or even when I'm home alone. I think it's the mixture of complete anonymity to those around me and the great acoustics : ) My parents live 4 hours away and I have had some of my best worship experiences lately during that drive – singing, praying out loud (both in praise and in dispair) and worshipping God for His creation (parts of the drive take me through the lower Adirondacks and the Berkshires – so breathtaking sometimes).

Back in the mid-seventies, I asked God to help me understand the Bible--I didn't want someone else's understanding, but I wanted His understanding. I followed through with an insatiable hunger to study and pray and study and pray. Well, I have my understanding and I sure hope it's real. I hope Isaiah 25:6-8 and Revelation 21:4 quickly come to pass. Can I ever relate with your prayer!
