What reading level is Parables of the Cross book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not in the partial relaxing of grasp, with power to take backagain, that this fresh victory of death is won: it is won when thatvery power of taking back is yielded; when our hands, like the littlecalyx hands of God's buttercups, are not only taken off, but foldedbehind our back in utter abandonment. Death means a loosenedgrasp--loosened beyond all power of grasping again.
And it is no strange thing that happens to us, if God takes us at ourword, and strips us for a while of all that made... life beautiful. Itmay be outward things--bodily comfort, leisure, culture, reputation, friendships--that have to drift away as our hands refuse to clasp onanything but God's will for us. Or it may be on our inner life thatthe stripping falls, and we have to leave the sunny lands ofspiritual enjoyment for one after another of temptation'sbattlefields, where every inch of our foothold has to be tested, where even, it may seem to give way--till no experience, noresting-place remains to us in heaven or earth but God Himself--tillwe are "wrecked upon God.
