Kindle Notes & Highlights
About “God” versus “the God image.” After all, the protagonist Celie’s first words are “Dear God.” Everything that happens during her life, spanning decades, is in relation to her growth in understanding this force.

The Africans never asked us to come, you know. There’s no use blaming them if we feel unwelcome.
And not being tied to what God looks like, frees us.
