inglês term

pucker and cringe

inglês para português Outra Religião Suffering
The writer is saying that we can have two concepts of God: one of them is of a God who's only sovereign over our griefs, but doesn't care. That view of God may contain some truth about God, since He's sovereign, but in the end, makes our soul pucker and cringe.
