This book was a brutally honest look at legalism within the church, and highlights that lack of support given to people in ministry. It's appalling to see how the home church of these people in ministry treat those that step out of their good graces - unfortunately, it's all too true and common. And as one reviewer stated, it does address churches that deal heavily with modesty and Bible versions as the ones that tend to perpetuate this type of behavior. This may have been "painted with too broad a brush", but legalism, in whatever form it takes, leads to treating people based on their behavior and adherence to the rules over the love and grace shown by Jesus himself.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although I was furious throughout much of it, in seeing the horrible underbelly of the church shooting its' own wounded. But in the end, love wins. And that, thank God, is the truth. Love wins!
