"God has been tender and loving with you. Yet, at the very moment when He demands that you understand, that you have faith, that in despair and storm you accept Him as simply as you accepted Him in sunshine and beauty and laughter, you turn from Him in hate and cry in your soul, There is no God!" (chapter 9)
Men were heroes but women were sensible (chapter 10) -- Do others agree with this generalization?

[Normand]

God is Love.
Either we let God Love us, either we shy away

But it is curious that Caldwell, being a woman, did choose this particular generalization.
