Martha is brash, jealous, confrontational, and controlling. And because Kilpatrick is blinded by her own brand of Mariology, she can only see the sisters in this way. Even in that glorious moment, Kilpatrick wants Martha to be shamed.
Instead, I think the author should be ashamed for going to such great lengths to demonize a saint. I would agree within limits, and I believe Kilpatrick went far beyond those limits. To worsen the reading experience, her poetry is unimpressive.
And I am being nice. Also, the author was rather sloppy about her research, relying too much on her own imagination. Even though minor references to ancient Jewish burial customs appear all over the Bible, she prefers to believe that the hired mourners were really disciples of Mary, eagerly following their religious guru everywhere.
Kilpatrick is just caught up in her imaginative storytelling, writing sensual lines about Jesus and Mary sharing the scent pun intended. Yes, I know Kilpatrick was just trying to be romantic. She wanted a dramatic story and got one by creating a villain and bending the truth behind the details. The result is a childish spoof that makes a beautiful story ridiculous.
All I can say is that her carelessness shows that she seriously needs to put more thought into what she writes. I still think Adoration had a lot of potential, but the poor execution earns it a Fail. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. Oct 07, Craig Bergland rated it did not like it.
I so wanted to say something positive about this book, so here it is: It has a red cover, and red is my favorite color. It also has large print, which is easy on my eyes, and is written in sense lines which means that it's really about fifty pages of very redundant material stretched into one hundred thirty-five. On the other hand, it took less than an hour to read, so not much of my life was wasted. From the title, I was expecting something very different, perhaps a book about adoration as a spi I so wanted to say something positive about this book, so here it is: It has a red cover, and red is my favorite color.
From the title, I was expecting something very different, perhaps a book about adoration as a spiritual quality or practice. What I got was a rambling, at times tangential, at other times conflated book with heavy but poorly conceived hints of total depravity. That analogies were sometimes mind bending, as in trying to show that work is bad and surrender is good - a concept that runs in direct contradiction to the experience of Paul, to name but one - the author compares Martha to Moses and Mary to Joshua, claiming that Moses didn't get to the Promised Land because he was concerned with working while Joshua did because, presumably because he was concerned with surrender to God.
The problem of course is that Joshua's leading people into the promised land doesn't compare well with Mary sitting at Jesus' feet, it's just as much work as Moses leading people around the desert was. Then, somewhere along the way, the author has decided that Mary of Bethany is the same Mary who anointed Jesus' feet. She displays her ignorance of biblical culture in claiming that it was only this Mary and Jesus who washed feet when in fact it was the duty of any host to wash their guests feet as part of hospitality.
The author devotes the last third of her book into her fantasy of the two Marys being one. In short, if you are given to fictional flights of fancy based on shoddy biblical understandings, this book is for you. If not, I'd avoid it like the plague.
