Book excerpt: "Living on the Thin Edge" can best be understood by the games we used to play near the thin edge of ice when we were kids. The author believes that living on the thin edge of life is where the greatest amount of joy is to be found. We live during "difficult times" as the Apostle Paul put it. (2 Timothy 3:1-6) Most people live on the thin edge, but few people have learned to enjoy it. Living on the thin edge is a spiritual adventure that requires faith, vision, hard work, good planning, deep relationships and self-control. To use another analogy, in our Father's woodshed, we learn to persevere as his loving hands whittle us down and carve us into the image of Christ.
