Although there wasn't much by the way of advice or theme in this book that I hadn't heard before in one way or another or thought before, it was still a nice reminder. This is a necessary book for many people, and I can't fault a good message, even if it's not entirely original. The author is vulnerable with her audience, and she grows over the course of this book. It's refreshing to see that. I love her statement that the body of Christ doesn't look like the homogeneous community she was raised in. It's diverse - racially, socio-economically, in sexual orientation, and in every way we can think of. Her mention of her "gay friend" at the end could be perceived as "but I have a gay friend". I really don't think she meant it that way. I also think she expected her gay friend to educate her, when that's her responsibility. Still, I can't get a true grip on that from one chapter in a book. Overall, I'd recommend this book. It was an easy listen/read and I enjoyed it. It was uplifting. Don't expect it to change your life, because it won't, but do expect to get something out of it.
