This was an interesting, enjoyable, quick read. There were a handful of debunked claims asserted about both the Bible and Pagan holidays. Townsend also limited his Pagan contributors and interviewees to those who are Wicca- and/or Druidry-aligned. I would have liked to hear from the voices of many other Paganisms.

Circle 31 Book Club has chosen a perfect read for September. I need the reminders from the author to seek patience and slow down all while focusing my trust in Jesus. 👑

When Circle 31 announced this book as the September pick for book club, I wondered what I could learn from a book published in 2006. Now, I know.

This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the evidence for Jesus, presented in a way that's accessible to readers of all backgrounds. Strobel's journalistic approach to investigating the claims of Christianity is both compelling and informative, making this audiobook a must-listen for anyone seeking answers to life's big questions....

Lamb | Christopher Moore

This was the first book I‘ve read by Moore and I loved it. It‘s a fictional tale on the life and times of Jesus. At times it felt as though the Bible had crossed paths with American Pie or some other hormone-fueled, rated R teen comedy. Somehow, Moore walked a fine line with this story and remained quite respectful to the subject matter. This was fun and creative and I was sorry to say goodbye to the characters at the end.

Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography | John Dominic Crossan
Pickpick

Excellent work from the pre-eminent Jesus scholar. Although it takes awhile to get there, his conclusions are easily summarized. Jesus was revolutionary for two beliefs, 1) that healing should be free for everyone and 2) that one should eat with everyone. Essentially, share your gifts and talents and be welcoming to all people.

I enjoyed the author's take on the passage from the Bible about the woman with the issue of blood. (See above) It's a heart-wrenching story of faith and redemption. Characters and plot are well developed. I would definitely recommend it.

Such an important work. I think even the non Christian should read this as it is more about our history with racism and the realities of the underprivileged more so than living a distinctly Christian life.
