So far

I'm about half way into the book, and thus far I've really enjoyed it. I like how authentic it is and how it is so easy to relate to. At first when God was presented as a big black women I was not feeling it. I just didn't really get why, and then when they talked about not feeding into the stereo-type or religious ideals I really liked it. It allowed me to no longer be distracted by that aspect, although sometimes I do find myself getting caught up in a big black woman being called papa but referred to as she. I just got to the part where they are talking about the trinity and how the relationships function within it. I had to stop there and plan to go back and reread it because I felt like there was some much in those pages. That's one of the reasons it is taken so long to read, because I can't just sit down and read through several or more chapters because there is so much to digest and then read again. Although now that I've been feeling better I hope to be reading it a little faster- especially since I stole Logan's copy- Although I've enjoyed seeing what he had underlined :) -Allyssa -Allyssa
