I’ve attempted to read this book several times, and although I usually deeply appreciate Conservative Quaker writings, I found myself unable to fully engage with it.
It is certainly not a reflection of the subject matter or the quality of the writing. The topics are thoughtful and worthwhile, and the author’s care and intention are evident throughout. Rather, I found that the writing style simply did not resonate with me personally. The particular cadence and choice of language made the reading experience feel more laborious than inviting, making it difficult for me to remain immersed in the text.
This is, of course, a matter of personal preference rather than criticism. I can appreciate the book’s value while recognizing that its style was not one with which I naturally connected.
