Ugh...
You know you're probably not going to agree with 90% of what the author of a particular book has to say when you come across the following paragraph early on. . .
"This is a good a place as any to apologize for my use of masculine pronouns for God in the previous sentence. You'll notice that wherever I can, I avoid the use of masculine pronouns for God because they can give the false impression to many people today that the christian God is a male deity. God is not a male. Instead God is personal (we might say super-personal) in a way that human maleness and femaleness togetehr image better than either can alone. Maleness and femaleness are biological categories, and God is Life beyond biological categories."
Oh boy. Yes, I said 'boy.' Oh boy.
