Some of this book—perhaps too much—has been about how I learned to do it. Much of it has been about how you can do it better.

The truth is that we don't want to be saved by in the way God has chosen; we want to keep absolute control over our every step, to be fully conscious of our decisions, to be capable of choosing the object of our devotion.
