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

5.0

---

This book really hit home on so many levels. As a Black woman who also grew up churched, I saw myself in many chapters. Benbow made me laugh, cry, and shout, "AMEN," throughout the book. While some chapters gave me pause, she forced me to at least open my mind and consider her words. I believe most Black women who grew up in the Black church can relate to a couple of chapters. However, I also believe this book may make many Black women who grew up in the Black church uncomfortable. But getting past the uncomfortable feelings is the point and Benbow's words push you through.
