MMD Reading Challenge 2017- For Fun
Category: Book recommended by someone with great taste

Back to the Classics Reading Challenge 2017
Category: 20th Century Classic

I had such mixed feelings about this book. It is a Christian allegory, that has some great themes, and it does make you think, but I wasn't a fan of the writing style. Much-Afraid is called by the Shepherd to make a journey to His Kingdom of Love, where he will give her a new name. It was a really strange mix of biblical language and more modern language. She kept switching between Thee and Thou and You, etc. Also, it was really repetitive. The descriptions were wordy, but repetitive. I felt like I was having De'ja vu. I also felt like I was being spoon-fed a majority of the time. It actually has some very similar themes to Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis, which I will be re-reading for my challenges this year, but Till We Have Faces is far superior in my opinion. There was one part in this book that drove me crazy. The Shepherd asks Much-Afraid if she would still love Him if he seemed to deceive her. She replied that she knows He cannot lie, so she would still love him. Then He asks if she would still love Him if he really did deceive her. She replied that, yes, it wouldn't matter if He really liked to her, she loves him and would still follow him. Now, I'm not a theologian or anything, but this makes absolutely no sense to me. The Shepherd is God. God cannot lie. So, if the Shepherd could lie it would mean he is not God, so she shouldn't follow him in that case. It was just a really weird scene. I do think that some people would really like this book, and I did relate in certain ways, so it's definitely a mixed bag for me.… (más)

My dad read this to me when we were kids, but I was encourage by a friend to read it, so I thought I’d go ahead and read it as an adult.

It was terribly hard to read through, because it’s such a whiny narrative throughout.

This is an excellent allegory. Dare I say even better than Pilgrims Progress?

Still, I did not love this book. It was good, but not my favorite.

An allegory of the nine spices mentioned in Song of Solomon compared with the nine fruits of the Spirit.
