A lovely reminder

Revisado: 03-09-24

This is a lovely reminder that mostly what God does is love us. Savannah doesn't claim to be a theologian. She shares about the times God has been present in her own life, and the ways God has provided for her and her family. I loved the hope section best. Read 1 chapter a day or read the whole thing in 1 setting. I'll be rereading this one for a long time.

a well-crafted deep dive into a very complicated subject

Revisado: 02-21-24

I am an unabashed fan of Michele Norris. Ever since her NPR days, her voice has brought a calm to my spirit like few others, and her "Your Mama's Kitchen" podcast makes me laugh, cry and think in equal measure. This book is beautifully crafted, and I am incredibly grateful that it is so inclusive in both its language and content. I even found my own origins on these pages as the descendant of German him immigrants originally from Kentucky. My 6 words: Southern white woman. I see you.

So Emotional for me

Revisado: 06-20-23

I dearly love "Auntie Beth" but I wasn't sure I could hang with the audio version. I'm so glad I did. This memoir is heartbreaking and soul lifting. it's hard and it's beautiful. When I tell you I covered my face with my hands and sobbed through Chapter 22, believe me. They were "Tears of Tenderness", and they are allowed here.

Tender and Authentic

Revisado: 05-20-22

Gosh, I just love Shauna Niequist. She writes in such a beautifully descriptive way, you can almost taste the food she describes. You can walk with her around her amazing new hometown. If you're looking for lots of answers, you won't find them here. But you might find better questions that you can ask yourself. i sure did. Brava, Shauna. The Bonus Interview was perfect too.

Friendship is precious, and when it comes from an unexpected place, it's even more so. Thank you, Martha. This book is lovely.

Just order it already.

Revisado: 05-21-20

I'm sure this book in print is marvelous. This book has read by the author is phenomenal! Jen gives additional insights that made me roar with laughter and cry actual tears. The sass is real with this one, but so are the deep deep feelings. It's an honor to have been present to listen to Jen tear up in places. Be sure to listen to every acknowledgment because they're amazing too. I'm sure a pandemic is not the best time to release a book, but I sure needed this right now. May we all go forward more fierce, more free, and more full of fire.

Unlearning and relearning God is good.

Revisado: 10-19-19

The stories Sarah shares uplift and challenge me. I am no longer allowed to be a "Faith Snob". God uses his children, all of them, to share his love with this broken world.

Savannah area girl revisits "The Book"

Revisado: 08-03-19

When I first read "Midnight", I was not yet living in the Savannah area. Much of the description and many of the places were lost on me. Now, 25 years after it was originally published, "The Book," as it is known locally, holds up. It means a lot more to me now. Many of the characters are gone, The Lady Chablis, Emma Kelly, "Mandy," but a few are still living. It's lots of fun when the remaining ones come up in the news or gossip.

Great, well developed characters. Emotionally evocative. More twists than a rollercoaster. This is great beach read about the beach.

When you dissect a family...

Revisado: 05-03-19

you find it's only a strong as its broken parts. This is a beautiful look at the difference between function and dysfunction and how perception can lead you to believe that one is the other. What a terrific story with deep and well developed characters this is.
