What I learned from ‘Gilead’?

  No, not that Gilead!
  I am referring to the novel Gilead by Marilynne Robinson.
  It is a ‘must read’ for all ex-JWs; its main character John Ames combines deep religious conviction with humility and being non-judgemental. What a contrast to the dogmatic and judgemental religion we left behind.

  I take that no one here has read it! It is an immense book full of humility and understanding.

  Sorry, haven't read it. But I'm compiling a book list since joining the forum a few weeks ago. I will definitely add 'Gilead' to the list. Thanks.

  I will add this to my "To Read" list as well. Thanks for the tip, eyeslice!
