What a loving and painful glimpse
Revisado: 10-22-24
I couldn’t stop listening to this memoir! As a Zappa fan, you’d expect unconventional family stories but this was more extreme than I thought it would be. I’ve heard Moon on podcasts and was anxious to read this. I enjoyed this but it broke my heart too. I highly recommend this memoir.

Maria Bamford is a comedian’s comedian (an outsider among outsiders) and has forever fought to find a place to belong. From struggling with an eating disorder as a child of the 1980s, to navigating a career in the arts (and medical debt and psychiatric institutionalization), she has tried just about every method possible to not only be a part of the world, but to want to be a part of it. In Bamford’s “trademark blend of disarming intimacy and dark whimsy” (Publishers Weekly), Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult brings us on a quest to participate in something.

I’ve always loved her comedy, but Maria Bamford tells her story with humor and heartbreak. It was a great listen 😊

Brilliant book by a brave patriot!
Revisado: 10-10-23
This brave young woman stood up to the monster that the Republican Party has become, and the ignorant fool that they worship. This was so interesting from the beginning to the end. I hope there’s room in politics for strong people with honor and dignity again some day soon. Everyone should read this book.

Jill and Derick knew a normal life wasn’t possible for them. As a star on the popular TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting, Jill grew up in front of viewers who were fascinated by her family’s way of life. She was the responsible, second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle’s nineteen kids; always with a baby on her hip and happy to wear the modest ankle-length dresses with throat-high necklines.

A Naive Account from a Reality TV Personality
- De Lora Kyle en 09-12-23
Great, honest story of her life so far. Loved it!
Revisado: 09-24-23
I loved Jinger’s book so I was anxious to read this one. Jill is painfully honest about what she went through, and explains clearly why she did what she did with her family ties. Both girls still love their family and will continue to love God and grow their own families. They will survive their trauma and thrive ❤️❤️❤️

Jinger, along with three of her sisters, wrote a New York Times bestseller about their religious convictions. She believed this level of commitment would guarantee God's blessing, even though in private she felt constant fear that she wasn't measuring up to the high standards demanded of her.

Whether you watched 19 Kids and Counting or not, this is a true story of cult teaching. Jinger is honest and lays out clearly the teaching of Bill Gothard vs what the Bible actually says. I really enjoyed this.

This book explains so much!
Revisado: 07-20-20
This should be required reading for everyone that votes. Our broken political system aside, this book honestly and clearly explains the “why” behind the grandiosity, the lies, the inability to admit wrong that we see every day by the president of the United States. It also points out some of the real dangers that could be caused by such a man. Excellent book!

This was wonderful! A great collection of loving couples sharing their own stories. Not a “you should” book but just sharing what they do in their relationships. It would make a great gift to young couples.

Growing up in a family of political journalists - and daughter of President Reagan’s White House social secretary - Ali Wentworth rebelled against her blue-blood upbringing, embracing Hollywood, motorcycles, even a few wildly inappropriate marriage proposals. Today she is an acclaimed comedic actress and writer, former Oprah regular, wife of political and media star George Stephanopoulos, and a mother who lets her two girls eat cotton candy before bed. Though she’s settled down, her rebellious nature thrives in her comedy and her view of her crazy world.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

A great testimonial and story
Revisado: 01-12-19
I bought this book a while ago and really regret not reading it sooner! I’m a Christian but I didn’t mind his agnostic stance, and I’m excited to attempt putting meditation into practice (even if it’s only a few minutes at a time). Dan Harris used interesting and personal stories as examples of the changes meditation made for him.
