I can honestly say that I was able to read this book without making cringing faces until a certain couple paragraphs. When she spoke of "whoredom" and Mary Magdalene I dreaded reading every word after the other. I really didn't want to hear any of that kind of talk in the same sentences as "Jesus" and "Apostles". It's not that I am a Jesus Freak who sets out to convert the world, I just felt that I was able to understand her point w/o all the whore-talk. Other than that grievance I can say that I am learning a lot from this book.
