When a mass shooter killed five people in an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, grieving people graffitied James Dobson's Focus on the Family headquarters with the words "Their blood is on your hands." Such an accusation comes as no surprise to Amber Cantorna-Wylde, whose father is a Focus on the Family executive and cast Amber out of her family when she came out in 2012.

Revisado: 09-13-24
What an incredibly thoughtful, insightful, and compelling work.
As a former evangelical, I have been trying to understand the far-right turn of that form of Christianity since 2016. This helps me grasp how the embrace of white heterosexual male dominant sexuality has shaped this part of the American church, while bleeding into Catholicism & mainline churches as well.
Beyond sociology, this is a revealing life story of how we as humans can be kinder & more accepting of one another.
I read this in one day because I could not stop engaging with it.

As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers.

I grew up believing in American Exceptionalism. This book ends with me being a far wiser person.

The cross and the lynching tree are the two most emotionally charged symbols in the history of the African American community. In this powerful work, theologian James H. Cone explores these symbols and their interconnection in the history and souls of black folk.

MUST READ!
Revisado: 05-25-21
A MUST READ for anyone in America who follows the ways of Jesus and desires racial reconciliation in our nation. Finished it last week, and from the opening pages, you know that this will be thought-altering. I only regret that I did not read it sooner.
James Cone is a brilliant theologian. It is not a wonder that my seminary professors gave no space for liberation theology or these profound thinkers. Cone's work, had it been required reading, would have transformed the pastoral development of the entire body of students. Our eyes would have been opened to the reality of the lynching tree & the work that really needed to be done within and outside the walls of our churches.
