Line Between A Novel

I read this entire book in just under a week. I did not expect that to happen as I tend to be a slow reader. The combination of Lee's flowing prose and a story that would not let me go became a formula to keep me glued. Even when I would read at 1:00 AM to help myself wind back down to go back to sleep, I found myself reading for a couple of hours!

Lee illustrates so well how a person can be hurt and broken when someone uses religion as a weapon. While most of us haven't grown up in a cult, many of us can identify with being on the receiving end of someone's weaponized religion. 

One of the main themes of the Bible is love for another they don't deserve or cannot repay. Lee illustrates this nicely, as well. I like that this comes from people who aren't doing these things for the reward. 

This isn't to say that religious people are all abusive and non religious people loving. Broad strokes don't represent entire populations. Simply put, religion without a relationship based on love and respect for God and others is simply a lifestyle.
