The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism | Katherine Stewart

pick

This explains the intersection of Christian evangelism and political power. It‘s about taking the pulpit, church, religion, and followers and using them so billionaires can accumulate power worldwide. It affects kids, schools, women, health care, LGBTQIA+ people, people of color, ALL of us and tax dollars. Extreme eye opening and well done.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa That sounds very VERY timely. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa It is just SO good. And yes, has a lot of information we need to know now. Take a look at the long review—it‘s got a ton more detail. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage The long review is even more interesting...darn it, I didn‘t need another MUST READ book to squeeze in, but this looks like one I need to. Great find and review! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I know—sorry. We all need a longer TBR like a hole in the head. But this one really is worth it. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes it is! And yea, #BookishDilemmas can‘t be helped, and it‘s better than the dreaded alternative, nothing to read. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Indeed it forget what “nothing to read” feels like. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage 😂 Right! Litsy helped banish that one for sure! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa It does! 5y

Scochrane26 I‘m going to have to add it to my tbr, too. I‘m hoping it will help me understand this issue more. I‘m a Christian but very much on the other side of this group. 5y

Megabooks Stacking! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Scochrane26 I hope you find it helpful. She does make it clear that these aren‘t behaviors of all Christians. But she makes connections between various church networks and these bigger, control-oriented organizations. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Megabooks Cool. I think you‘ll find it fascinating. 5y

Yale Needs Women: The First Ivy League Girls and Their Fight for a Seat at the Head of the Class | Anne Gardiner Perkins

pick

This book was absolutely brilliant!!! What could‘ve been a dry drudgery was in fact a riveting page turner. Anne Perkins covers 5 women and many others too as they become the first women to be admitted to Yale in 1969. This book explores much more than just the early days of coed education, it is follows the Vietnam War, segregation, the feminist movement and equal rights for women and minorities. This is truly #BookClubWorthy 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Cinfhen This book was beyond fascinating @TrishB I‘m so glad I picked it up for challenges but ended up with a 5 star read @4thhouseontheleft I think dad might like this one too @Centique 😘 6y

merelybookish Wow! 1969! That isn't that long ago. 😲 6y

Cinfhen Right!!! Only 50 years ago @merelybookish and it was quite a battle for them 😨really unbelievable, I think you‘d really appreciated his book. You too @Suet624 😘😘 6y

Suet624 I stacked it pretty darn quickly after reading your post. 😁 this time in history does not feel like ancient history to me. I feel like it will always be very present for me. 6y

Centique @Cinfhen I was wondering about this one for him! Thanks I‘ll add it to his list 😊👍 6y

Cinfhen I‘m glad @Centique 🧡 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m not worthy! #challengequeen #indeed 6y

Educated: A Memoir | Tara Westover

pick

I finished my first book from @MeganAnn ‘s #newyearwhodis list, and it was a great read!

A memoir that touches on the importance of education, and one woman‘s struggle to find her own place in the world apart from her upbringing. Her parents attack public schools, the healthcare system, and government services, but at its core this is a book about abuse, and the way abusers and their enablers distort reality towards their victims.

alisiakae And the list of challenge prompts begins 😂#ReadwithMrBook #onewordtitle @MrBook, #nonfiction2020 #abouteducation @Riveted_Reader_Melissa, #ReadtheUSA2020 #Idaho. Also #mandmchallenge2020 #home @barbarathebibliophage because Tara's relationship with her home (leaving and returning to it) and Buck's Peak, is a central component of her memoir. And finally, #pop20 : Won an award in 2019 (GR Choice Award). 6y

KT1432 Great review! 6y

MeganAnn Oh I‘m so glad you liked it! Great review... that‘s very much what I thought as well. ❤️ 6y
