mousereads 's review for:
Broke the Bread, Spilled the Tea
by Mitchell Kesller
AS CAWPILE:
Characters: 7 | Atmosphere: 6 | Writing: 7 | Plot: 7 | Intrigue: 8 | Logic: 6 | Enjoyment: 7
Total: 6.86 / 3 stars
CAWPILE was tricky for this as it is a nonfiction book discussing the bible.
Mitchell Kesller does a great job at addressing difficult topics with a gentle hand and a kind heart. This book is important for people to read, and is presented in a way that is digestible for the casual theological reader. Yes, there were moments that seemed to contradict one thought to the next, rendering some arguments null. However, the intent there was as clear as day: Kesller wants one to know they are loved, and that the Church as an organization has historically been...well, wrong.
While I am no longer Christian, and thus had to disconnect myself from some of the language around a loving god, this book would be a fantastic one for queer Christians who are struggling with feeling loved and accepted in their communities, or, are wanting to set healthy boundaries and have healthy discussions around these topics.
