The book looks inviting to me, sparking a healthy dose of curiosity with a side of not taking ourselves too seriously -- which is a breath of fresh air for religiosity, I think. It seems that one of the things that Christian religiosity tends to do is take itself too seriously and crowd out the joy and wildness of Jesus (even writing “wildness” about Jesus feels a little too much, haha!) and the truth of our humanity (in spite of Paul’s reminders that none of us were “all that and the bag of chips”). We’re awkward beings in an awkward, messy world; how fitting that our faith would be awkward as well 💓 I think the cover really nods us in this direction well!
This is going to be good!
Yes, the awkward middle way! I’ve been a third way thinker since toddlerhood, although I didn’t know it until well into adulthood.
Have you read it? It’s out. 😁

I love your cover and am so excited for you!
I love this! Thanks for letting me know how you perceive it. 😁 And I love those thoughts about taking ourselves too seriously.
