Review Quotes: Because of the way the book expanded my understanding of how I have been shaped, formed, and even manipulated at times as a White Christian woman in America, I'm giving this book a "must-read, 5-star rating" in this summer's book list journal I've been keeping...DuMez's book takes the reader on a thorough and fascinating exploration of this history... Live Laugh Love would be a great selection for a book club or a church reading group to work through and discuss together.-- "Reformed Journal"
