Status Updates From The Reed of God

I started reading this on a silent retreat. It was interesting and gave me some things to think about. However, I'm struggling to read/understand even a few pages at a time back in my chaotic daily life. So going to set it aside for now.
Abandoned.

“How consistent is it with the incredible tenderness of God that his Christ, the immortal child, should be convinced by the power of the spirit in the body of a child. That a child should bear a Child, to redeem the world […] the whole world trembled on the word of a child, on a child’s consent”

just WTF is this. Appalling.
