I hate to say it, but I have lost interest in this book. I first picked it up as my grandmother had mentioned it to me and it comes highly recommended. The author is also well known and the reviews are very promising for this read. However, the further I get into it the more my brain wonders off. So I will give the best recap of what I have read.
I am in the later part of the book and so far the book has basically been about how the world is so different than living in a covenant, which I would imagine is very true. As Karen branches out in society she begins going to outings and gathering more with friends. She finds it odd that where she currently lives people regard church as a past time and many churches are actually converted to homes or apartment flats.
She tells of how she eventually stops going to church altogether and actually despises the idea of the routines and ideals of religion. She is made aware of a church close by but states that she really had no intentions of going back to church.
It seems to me as though the author is describing something many of us go through being brought up in a religious household or in her case being a part of the church. I can relate to her emotions as I was raised to follow a strict religious regimen and when I became an adult I completly lost interest in the idea due to the routine of it all.
Overall I respect the author and her work but I will be glad to move onto another read.
