I had never heard of Tilly Dillehay a few months ago. My friend mentioned Mrs.Dillehay's book, Dear Hemlock (being reviewed soon), which began my interest into her writing. This book addresses the pitfall of envy and its devastating effects. First, she points out how all glory is borrowed from God. Then she examines different borrowed glories that cause envy (body, charm/influence, intellect, options, creativity, competence/control, relationship). She also gives the reader hope by offering ways to deal with envy, whose approval we need, and the glory we will experience forever.
For these concepts to take root in my mind and to transform me, I think discussing with it someone as I read it would have been a better method than reading independently.
*Highly recommend.
