That's the problem with writing a book before the Spirit gets through teaching you something. You may want to go back and "edit" your work when you've grown a little wiser.

I have also heard that Ruth (formally) Reider regrets writing some of the things in her hair books. Who knows. I remember reading the first book of hers and feeling like it was all soooo true at the time. Years later I have realized that parts of it were more like adding to the scriptures than anything...very mystical-like. I think at times we Pentecostals will take one scripture and RUN with it. People like to interpret the hair passage VERY literally and not take it in it's proper context as a cultural issue, but as Heavenly One said, people WILL interpret the "shame for a woman to speak in church" as a cultural issue.
