I absolutely love how transparent Benbow is with her readers in this book. It can be challenging to find books surrounding Christianity that don’t come off as judgmental, and this book felt like the opposite of that

Book 62 of 2022
Amen! Red Lip Theology describes my walk as a woman of faith in 2022! While I may not agree 100% with everything that is written, I feel empowered as a Black Woman! I like the different viewpoints of the views of the Christian church that made me think and examine my walk.
I’ve experienced church hurt and it’s one of the worst feelings in the entire world. When the people who are supposed to be family and uplift you turn back and/or talk down to and about you.
I can relate to so many other situations that were written about. I love the relationship that she had with her mother.
The audiobook was great.

a dear friend purchased this for me after she finished it, so i really didn’t know what to expect when i started reading. what an honor that this book made her think of me. benbow’s essays share her complicated relationship with the church, religion, racism, sexism, family, homophobia, and relationships. a lot of her religious questions and struggles have been some of my own. benbow’s writing was refreshing and thought-proving. i’m thankful for her honest writing that challenged and grew my faith.

This book is at the intersection of womanism, racism, classism and faith. While it was a lot more academic than I expected (she clearly has a background in academia) this was a love letter to black women with faith who are true to themselves.
The parts about unlearning the anti gay rhetoric handed down from church and battling a white academic religious institution, worth re-reading
