![]() I think that’s what I love the most about Sue Monk Kidd. Well, her research really showed in the details she included and the scenes she was able to paint so beautifully with her words. I listened to a podcast with Sue Monk Kidd (I think it was an episode of Brené Brown’s new podcast – which is fabulous, by the way!) where she said that she had done over a year of research before even beginning this book (might have been more than that, I don’t remember). Instead, I found it to be so very lovely and rich and comforting. I was worried that this book would feel at least a tad sacrilegious or disrespectful. I’ve been in ministry for nearly 20 years and have been a worship pastor for at least half of that time. So, when I heard that she was writing a story about the fictional wife of Jesus, I was both thrilled and terrified. ![]() I still remember where I was sitting when I finished the Secret Life of Bees and how I felt for days after I finished it – longing for just one more chapter. I love everything I’ve read by her (fiction and non-fiction). ![]() I think the first and most important thing for me to tell you is that I LOVE Sue Monk Kidd. ![]()
