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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: An omnibus edition of the author‘s engaging reflections on the parables of Jesus.
Review: In hindsight I wish I‘d reviewed the three volumes that went into this omnibus edition separately, as each book has its own personality. ⬇️
Recent acquisition for our personal library.

so-so3 Stars • Lee Strobel‘s The Case for Christ follows the ex-atheist journalist‘s quest to verify Jesus‘ life, death, and resurrection through scholar interviews. Accessible and engaging, it argues for the New Testament‘s reliability but leans pro-Christian and skips deep counterarguments. Great for believers or curious readers, less for hardcore skeptics. Slightly dated (1998).

So this is the evangelical answer to the poor. Not “what you do to the least of these…” just this. Oh my god the rage is strong within me! Hobby Lobby and The Signatry must be so proud. I would love to be a fly on the wall when they find out either their sky daddy isn‘t real, or they are on his 💩 list.
