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!
I‘ve been interested in this book for awhile, so, since I found it on Hoopla, I decided to make it my new #audiowalk book. So far, it‘s interesting. The foreword is by Rachel Held Evans, who I‘ve always liked.
“Many who are working among the suffering…thought they were going as the benefactors but they invariably found themselves being helped and liberated themselves.”
(Just one of the insights from this book that resonates with me. This little book is one of my favorites as well as the book of Job in the Bible is my favorite.)
