My reading is always slow and yet I wonder why I do not make more of an effort to carve out more time for something I love to do?? karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252685705241032079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637299678197896762.post-84558973140955872722016-03-13T19:02:27.117-07:002016-03-13T19:02:27.117-07:00I am loving it but it's also hard to read. It...I am loving it but it's also hard to read. It's a world that is so foreign and I don't think that I really grasped the impact that fear plays on EVERYTHING. I LOVED Just Mercy (which was another Red Couch read a few months ago). The race situation is so complex and it's so hard to see how to repair the inherited pain of hundreds of years of cruelty. As a Canadian, we get to pretend that it really isn't our story but given the situation here with how our indigenous peoples were/are treated, we are wrestling with a very similar struggle.

But then I live in the US. Coates studied under Toni Morrison, a remarkable author, though at the end of many of her paragraphs I'll think "I have not idea what that meant but my heart is racing regardless." Another book, covering a similar subject to Coates' is Brian Stephenson's Just Mercy. While Coates is not a Christian (not that it's a weakness to his power & persuasiveness), Stephenson is and he uses his Christian worldview with strength.
