Your experience is your own. The message obviously wasn't for you. My experience and that of others with whom I have spoken was of a powerful and life-changing message.

And sometimes, it was maybe years later when I saw the significance, looking back, of something I had panned earlier.
I would suggest another book of Eldredge's -- "Waking the Dead"
