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
A few times a year I ask myself if I really have any investment in the Christian church. Sometimes, depending on how hopeless I feel about my own future in that moment, I think "maybe I should give it a try".
Two years ago, when I was going through a heartbreak that shattered my world (because of course it did), I looked to church and the Bible for help. It turned out to only be temporary, but that was the closest I came to being completely sold on the idea.
Now, with this book by someone who believes fiercely in God but has chosen to express that faith in ways much different to what the church expects (or accepts), I am seeing that yes, I do need to have some kind of spiritual life on this earth. I admire how boldly Candice talks about her journey to and through faith.
I hope I can believe in something that strongly one day.
