O que foi este final, como se não bastasse tantos trechos escancarando a realidade, esse final vem como a cereja do bolo

I really did enjoy this book. I think it was a real eye-opener as a Christian, to notice all of the things that we, as Christians, have normalized. I would definatly reccomend this to a Christian looking for a new book. But it feels like a heavier subject so maybe not the best one for a new convert.
