Some lovely gems in here. I will definitely return to some of these key lines. A lot of religious stuff that did not particularly resonate with me but I understand that it's not really *for* me. A very approachable length book for a grieving person when a big book feels like too much.
One incredible line which I don't think he meant to be humorous but which I found hilarious: "What do people mean when they say 'I am not afraid of God because I know He is good?' Have they never been to the dentist?" As a fellow dentist hater, dentists and their scrapey tools also make me doubt the existence of a benevolent God.
