Dear Nicole, I Love You Chair: The Healing Power of Remembered Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781452010465)

"I'm seriously considering not going to Church and not reading the Bible any more. They are too judgmental!" That was my granddaughter Nicole, age 20, defending her gay and her non-Christian friends. This book is our conversation about that statement, agreeing that people often divide into us against them rather than living in love or compassion. But there is a solution, one examined in depth in a series of letters to Nicole. The story of Adam and Eve is taken as a symbolic creation story, one that has supported a Patriarchal view of women. A new interpretation of this story provides support for viewing men and women as equals rather than women as submissive to men. This interpretation changes a mindset that has influenced the Western World for 2000 years. The book indicates the importance of living out our best ideals and the recognition that all human life is of enormous value because we are all created in the Image of God.
