3.0

I’ve had this book on my shelf since hearing Amy Julia speak at a local event about a year ago, and I’m glad I finally got to it. It’s a helpful look at privilege from a woman similar to me in many ways — I didn’t feel like it quite went THERE enough but it did honestly tell of her own experiences and her awakening to her privilege. I’m often wrestling with how to both be aware of my own privilege and then do something about it for the benefit of others, and I appreciated reading her thoughts and experiences around doing the same. In the conclusion, she writes: “This book is an attempt at both a confession of sin and a confession of faith— faith not in privilege, but faith in the God of love who invites me to understand privilege differently.”
