pickWhat a strange little story this was but 2 of the most important medieval texts written by women Margery Kempe and Julian an anchoress both receiving “visions” by Christ , in today‘s modern world there are many explanations for this but one would like to believe in a miracle , very well written and incredibly researched
You are never persuasive when you are abrasive.
I apparently started reading this book like 5 years ago and then didn‘t successfully complete all 40 days of it successfully and consecutively….it‘s lines like this that reveal to me that I was a very different person with very different ideals back then!!
😂😏🤣
BRB, imma just be over here for a good long while pondering whether or not a can come into agreement with this or not…..😂🤔🤣
God expects unity, not uniformity, and we can walk arm in arm without seeing eye to eye on every issue.
pickWhat an incredible look at ancient history and what Christianity destroyed.
This is the last book! In my quest to complete the 50 category Ashe County North Carolina Library Reading Challenge, I commit to this on a vacation starting right now.
Recent acquisition for our personal library (not in the Litsy database yet, despite me adding it weeks ago):
📖 The Celtic Vision: Prayers and Blessings From the Outer Hebrides: Selections From the Carmina Gadelica edited by Esther De Waal

pickIt is a great book for many reasons, raw perspectives throughout, but is a great way to start to understand atheism. St Augustine‘s Confessions lays bare the complete inadequacy of religion to answer the great questions of life – which are really no different now than they were when he was grappling with them.
pickThere‘s so much about this book that I liked (discussion of historical, biblical women and discussion of texts where women are mentioned), and so much that I didn‘t (the sections that felt like her own testimony and an invitation as well — that part was too long). Overall, though, I‘d give this book a pick. I wish she‘d examined the biblical passages more and given us more women‘s stories. Started Cujo as my new #audiowalk book. What a change!
