.......hmmmmm

On my trip to and from Amarillo this week, I finished listening to an audio book. Hinds Feet In High Places by Hannah Hurard intrigued me as I heard this reading, full of symbolism.

I read this book about 6 years ago. If you read it as I did the first time with wrong thinking, read it again. I'm sure I will write more later about the book and how it spoke to me.

After hearing this book read, I wanted to read more of Hannah Hurnards books. As I searched, I found the disturbing stories of her life. She was raised a Quaker, feeling stiffled by legalism and for a time, obviously drew closer to the Lord and his goodness. Much of Hinds Feet In High Places is a story of her journey.

Sadly, after this writing it appears she fell into the deciet of Universalism and New Age beliefs. How sad. As much as I love her book Hinds Feet In High Places, I don't recommend anyone read her later writings. In an article I found by Robert Fisher, he traced her life and writings.

Sadly, I wondered, how someone who had such an amazing experience with the Lord, could go so far the other way.

All of this to say......hmmm ....filter everything you read and hear through the Word of God and be encouraged; If we are In Christ, we have the Holy Spirit to comfort, and guide us to the Truth of His Word.

Weird post, I know. I felt it necessary to inform my blog readers.
