This book required a therapy session afterwards. Serene violence is so frightening. Calculating criminality with sprinkles of emotion and guilt were such a fascinating and moral panic inducing combo. This is an excellent read but not a GOOD (morally) book. I would recommend this in particular to someone who may be exploring their relationship to power and assimilation.

I’m sucked in!

So much of me grieves through this book. So much of me heals. So much falls into place. It is fascinating to understand even some of the formation of the theology that I was taught as a younger person. It is both heart wrenching and heartwarming in the very best ways.

A fascinating look into Calvinism. I am nothing near a Calvinist, and it is tragic to me to read words that seem so harsh and unyielding. I have spent most of the margins arguing to refuting the author. The content is contradictory and the author himself exposes his cherrypicking of Scripture to inform and prove his point. Difficult read so far.
