I greatly enjoyed the inclusion of The Thunder, Perfect Mind in this story. It seemed fitting and it worked beautifully. I appreciated the use of CE (current era) as opposed to AD. It makes sense for the story, but it is also in accordance with academic parlance and gives the book more weight, a more solid foundation. I liked the use of the Jewish months as opposed to our current months.

GingerAntics Again, this is fitting as they would have been what Ana and everyone around her would have used. I wish Ana‘s promise that every single act of his love would not be squandered, but in the ensuing 2000+ years they have not only been squandered but defiled again and again. Then, as now, love is revolutionary; and love is terrifying to those who cannot fathom it. Beautiful, wonderful story. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 12h
GingerAntics Well worth the time and energy, Christian or not. A valuable reminder in this current time in America that the voices of women can be silenced for only so long, and we will always find a way to pass our stories on to the future. This book certainly doesn‘t do Judas any favours. #SueMonkKidd #TheBookOfLongings #Audiobook (edited) 12h
GingerAntics Also, I have a red parachord bracelet from TKD that I wear (it kind of looks like a TKD belt around my wrist) that felt special to this book as well. I liked that little link Ana had to him that whole time, that she carried with her always. 9h

This was a beautiful and - no doubt - comforting sentiment. Sadly, it has not come to pass. For Ana, yes. After that, not only have all his acts of love been squandered, they have been outright defiled and continue to be so. The current climate of the USA is testament to this defilement.

I‘m sitting here, enjoying this book… and now some server problem is preventing me from continuing… mid conversation about how much of a “devil” her creepy old man betrothed is. EXCUSE ME, I NEED TO KNOW THIS NOW!!!

Went into this book rather cautiously. As a Christian I wasn‘t sure what to think about a book where Jesus had a wife. I had to tell myself over and over it‘s fiction, it‘s fiction. Some of it was hard to take as plausible , other parts Kidd nailed it! Anna being who she was meant society wasn‘t going to tell her what to do, and I appreciated that. Not romantic at all, but you end up really liking Jesus! #suemonkkid #thebookoflongings #botm
