Carl reviewed Pastrix by Nadia Bolz-Weber
Review of 'Pastrix' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
General note: While I think this book is awesome, if swearing in a Christian book offends you, think about steering clear.
Earlier this year I came across something about Nadia Bolz-Weber from a link on a blog that I read. Her story intrigued me, so when I heard about this book I was interested in reading it.
One of the things I have learned in my Christian walk is that grace is a very messy thing, that forgiving people and loving them in spite of their failing is very hard. She raises the bar big-time on that, reminding me that as good I think that I am doing on loving and forgiving, I can always go farther.
This book challenges me a lot.
