yeah. I've probably read books that challenged my thinking way more radically than that one, but it touched me because it confirmed a lot of things that had been swirling around in my head recently, faith-wise. I've had to break down my religious ideas to bare essentials and reexamine everything from there, and that's been a scary experience because I wasn't exactly brought up to be guided by my own spiritual instincts....So Annie's voice resonated with me quite a bit, helped me to view my faith in a more liberated light and feel okay about it and all of that good stuff.
I know what you mean, also, about wanting to have that stronger sense of community and of connection with people....I've had an especially acute yearning to impact someone on an intimate and unmistakeable level.....okay, I'm done using many-syllabled words and trying to make points. glad that you liked it.
