I was super excited to get Warren Cole Smith's new book A Lover's Quarrel With the Evangelical Church. I cannot, however, bring myself to read it in it's entirety, so forgive the sad, half-hearted review.
From the title, I assumed (and you know what "they" say that means!) that it would be a book written from a "lover's" perspective. Like I said, I did not read the book in it's entirety, so I could be wrong based on later chapters... but the part that I did read read more like a "christianized" tabloid. I actually feel a bit guilty for reading as much as I did about some of the failings (perceived or actual) of Christians listed quite prolifically in the early chapters of the book. I apologize to the author if I am giving an inaccurate account of the overall heart of the writing... The style and especially the content of the beginning is not something I am comfortable reading.
For those who may be interested in learning more about the book, you can go to this site, which belongs to the author.
Reluctantly,
Jaimee
