I've read the Foreword and the first two chapters.

So far, we have the main character being betrayed by the church when he was a 13 year old, have a terrible father (which is bound to result in a low view of God), and the initial seeds of the feminization of God (yes, I already know the Father is a female and so is the Holy Spirit in the book; but we have a tale that's meant to parallel the cross where an Indian maiden is a "Christ figure"). Did I already mention ?

I'm beginning to wonder how much of this is autobiographical for William Young...
