Summary of Candice Marie Benbow's Red Lip Theology

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I had an amazing childhood, despite my mother not being married to my father. I was surrounded by books, ballet, and piano lessons. I was in Girl Scouts, and I had every enrichment program in between. I had the best of everything, but I couldn’t escape one fatal flaw: my mother wasn’t married to my father.

#2 The church and the community weren’t the only places where my mother endured the stigma of being pregnant and unmarried. She was also shunned by relatives because she had a college degree and was heavily involved in church.

#3 I spent my childhood trying to prove I was worthy of my mother’s love and care. I was constantly in trouble at school because I was always talking and disrupting class, and I never got good grades.

#4 I never felt worthy of my mother, who was God to me. I felt like I’d ruined her life and her dreams, and that I was a burden to her. Yet she wanted me, and she spent her entire childhood trying to destroy the church’s teachings about single mothers and their children.
