Title: Felt like I was at a really bad women's retreat
Product review: I've never been to a women's retreat (I'm a man), but from what women have told me, this book pretty well resembled a really bad one. She repeatedly criticizes the use of the mind, and talks all about our "desires" and letting emotions come out wherever they want to. I understand that emotions are important and part of how God has made us, but she made so many baseless assertions about how we "overuse" our brains in the West that I wanted to throw this book in the trash. If I didn't have to read this for class, I would have.Her chapter on the Bible really bothered me - she talked about how we shouldn't think about what Scripture means (we think about stuff too much in the West anyways!)...we should just repeat phrases from it over and over again until we have some kind of emotional experience. Terrible, terrible, terrible.
