Lewis has such a gift for storytelling。 Liberation， here， is offered—as it is in life—deeply enmeshed with stories。 She's so concerned with the particularities of how we know ourselves， and how we love each other， that you can't help but feel seen and held while reading。 Never preachy but always compelling， her book offers a love that is simultaneously ancient and fresh， an invitation to reimagine how we build community， and our place within it。 Lewis has such a gift for storytelling。 Liberation， here， is offered—as it is in life—deeply enmeshed with stories。 She's so concerned with the particularities of how we know ourselves， and how we love each other， that you can't help but feel seen and held while reading。 Never preachy but always compelling， her book offers a love that is simultaneously ancient and fresh， an invitation to reimagine how we build community， and our place within it。 。。。more

Note: I received an advance review copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。A well-written book advocating for Rev Lewis's ubuntu philosophy， Fierce Love reads partially as a memoir and partially as a motivational book where the author puts forward her idea of self-love helping us face the challenges of today's world。 I personally found the best part of the book to be her anecdotes， and I feel a lot more about her philosophy would have been clearer if the book had stuck to her Note: I received an advance review copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。A well-written book advocating for Rev Lewis's ubuntu philosophy， Fierce Love reads partially as a memoir and partially as a motivational book where the author puts forward her idea of self-love helping us face the challenges of today's world。 I personally found the best part of the book to be her anecdotes， and I feel a lot more about her philosophy would have been clearer if the book had stuck to her describing her memories and her feelings about the aforementioned memories， which is why I gave it four stars。 A beautiful book overall， but occasionally loses track of where it wants to go with its stories。 。。。more

There is a single thread that shimmers through the entire "Fierce Love" book。。。 Ubuntu。 Ubuntu is an Nguni Bantu concept that translates- "I Am because We Are"。 My identity， My flourishing， My pain are irrevocably intertwined with you， with the "other"， with the collective。 Part memoir and part sermon， "Fierce Love" is a deeply personal and vulnerable invitation to choose love- love of self， love of your "posse"， and love of the world- and in so doing， to upend the world as we know it。 Author Dr There is a single thread that shimmers through the entire "Fierce Love" book。。。 Ubuntu。 Ubuntu is an Nguni Bantu concept that translates- "I Am because We Are"。 My identity， My flourishing， My pain are irrevocably intertwined with you， with the "other"， with the collective。 Part memoir and part sermon， "Fierce Love" is a deeply personal and vulnerable invitation to choose love- love of self， love of your "posse"， and love of the world- and in so doing， to upend the world as we know it。 Author Dr Jacqui Lewis boldly confronts racism， sexism， homophobia and xenophobia and advocates for the more perfect way- love。 FYI- Dr Lewis is a Christian theologian and pastor， yet her message is 100% affirming and inclusive of those of other faiths and those of no faith。 I enjoyed an ARC of this book in exchange for my opinion。 My thanks to the author， publisher and #NetGalley for the opportunity。 #FierceLove 。。。more
