Can't wait to read it

I’m happy for him. When anyone can come to terms with things in their past they feel need looking at and look to a better path, that is always good (IMHO).

We all need self-reflection.

God bless him.

"... Brand’s message is clear: you’re not joining a religion so much as coming home to the One who loves you beyond merit, beyond failure, beyond the world’s hollow offers."

If one cannot accept the idea of Christ, we can accept the way unconditional love and forgiveness make us feel.

Yes, except "do not" rather than "cannot." It's a disagreement via a polite declination, rather than something we-who-disagree lack. I LOVE the acceptance I feel within Nature, as one among Her many creations. I'm good, no forgiveness necessary.

Does he go into his take on human sacrifice? Does anyone? It's a death cult. No doubt it's attractive to people who want to negate themselves, as he so clearly does (that's at the root of addiction).

OK. Just so you-all remember that not all MAHAns are Christian, or even religious, or are interested in what Brand has to say given his history. The one great thing he's done is to interview Vandana Shiva. Mass respect for her.

This movement is not a Christian one; it is a health for all movement, and one where some-to-many are Christian ... and some-to-many are not. Focus is fine; now when will we read the insights of, say, Robin Wall Kimmerer, or Winona LaDuke? Perhaps Starhawk?

It's an extremely aggressive cult. They will take over any org they enter and will try to shout down anyone who objects to their preaching.

Apparently I need a Make The Goddess First hat, perhaps not red. I can wear it with my Kennedy for President 2024 shirt, navy to match. Already have a "make vaccine manufacturers liable again" hat.

“Intellectually, the book is much richer than might be expected.” Not so - I would expect nothing less.

I question why he is not relying on Jesus alone. He mentions secondary sources to confirm his Christianity. Jesus is all you need, Bro. Russell.

I'm curious. Has Russell ever explained the number 33 tattoo on his arm? 🙄

Sounds like a great read.
