I basically got through the book without subjecting myself to any rapes, but also the graphic descriptions of torture, battles, etc.

I guess some would say that I didn't really read the book, since I skipped all blood and gore and rape, but there was enough left to have a fairly entertaining read. It does make me wonder about the author as well...he really seemed to get into those awful scenes.

It's unlikely that the same warm welcome and subsequent embrace of a belief system would have occurred if she had come across dozens or even hundreds of other churches. It was a matter of the right group of people at the right time.

Anne Lamott will never fit into any stereotypes anyway, but

I always felt that she fell in love with the people and included the belief system as part of the love affair.
