There’s a Woman in the Pulpit, a biased book review

I'm a woman who's spent a good portion of my career occupying pulpits. In some circles a preaching woman is seen as a problem. Now comes a book that normalizes my life: "There's a Woman in the Pulpit." What a gift! I've always wanted to feel normal. That's why I was so happy to contribute to this … [Read more...] about There’s a Woman in the Pulpit, a biased book review

The Fifth Season: A Daughter-in-Law’s Memoir of Caregiving

The Year of Living . . . with a Beard

After reading A.J. Jacob's book,?The Year of Living Biblically, I decided to follow a friend's recommendation and read Ed Dobson's book The Year of Living Like Jesus. The two books are quite different. Jacobs was raised as a secular Jew, and his book feels a bit like a stunt, a follow-up to spending … [Read more...] about The Year of Living . . . with a Beard

Under the Banner of Heaven, by Jon Krakauer, a book review

Tiger Mother

I can't recall a book that has gotten as much publicity as Amy Chua's Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Clicking that link will bring you to an excerpt (in case you somehow missed the hubbub).
