The Willful Blindness We Are All Too Blind To See

I picked up a brand-spankin' new book at the library today. I'm not even two pages into it, and I'm already going bananas about it.

It is called Willful Blindness by Margaret Heffernan. What this blog is about is all over that. And yes, the book is indeed precisely about what the title says.

I can't say much about it right now. Again, very much looking forward to diving into it.

But I'll bet there is one thing I can predict about the book that will be scintillatingly disappointing. And quite unsurprisingly so.

The last chapter is "See Better." I'm sure Heffernan suggests all kinds of ways we can be less willfully blind. Or she just resigns herself to the distress of people just never getting it nonetheless. Or both.

I can pretty much guarantee, however, that the chapter will not mention the One thing that would make us not-blind anymore, totally, completely, wonderfully. And that is if we allow the One Who Made Our Eyes to see once again like we should.

That we simply see with the eyes of Christ.

Will He show up in Chapter Twelve? Doubt it.

But it should be some fun until then.
