Red Lip Theology: For Church Girls Who've Considered Tithing to the Beauty Supply Store When Sunday Morning Isn't Enough by Candice Marie Benbow

4.0

emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

---

This book is a collection of essays on relationships, loss, sexuality, the church, patriarchy, feminism, womanist theology, and more. Ms. Benbow draws from all periods of her life, childhood on up, to share her faith journey and how she came to understand God, her relationship with God, and her place in God’s divine creation. I believe to love one another we must understand one another. To do that we must know one another. We can’t truly know one another if we don’t share our life experiences and beliefs with one another. Ms. Benbow, with her book, is demonstrating how and why to do this.  I hope for more courageous woman speaking their truth about their lived experiences in and out of the American church - and sharing those truths, whether in articles, books, podcasts, or other mediums. We need their voices and we need them. 
Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the eARC to read and review. All opinions are my own.
