I WANT TO BE SANDRA FLUKE
I do not like to get into political discussions and I didn’t do it, for a very long time. Unfortunately, time is running out, and I believe that every one of us has the duty to say the truths that…

FLANNERY: A LIFE OF FLANNERY O’CONNOR BY BRAD GOOCH
I feel like a bad reviewer. I won’t be able to do a good job with this book because it really didn’t capture my attention much and I had difficulty convincing myself to finish it. It is a very long…
The Faith Club, by SUZANNE OLIVER AND PRISCILLA WARNER
I have a long history with this book. I first picked it up from the library half a year ago and was not able to go through it, so I returned it promptly after three weeks. A month ago someone mentioned the book to me at a party. A week after that, the minister in my church mentioned the book in a sermon. A day after that I found out that there is a book discussion about the book also and that was when I picked it up again from the library. And I found in it, waiting, a preschool card of my daughter’s which I hadn’t even realized I had lost. I was probably using it as a bookmark. So, you know, some faith was involved in the story of me and this book.A NEW EARTH, BY ECKHART TOLLE

Jesus, Interrupted, by Bart D. Ehrman
A controversial book. What other fate could it have had, when it wants to reveal a conspiracy of keeping hidden contradictions in the New Testament and the fact that is was not written by the apostles, or by people who ever met or lived in the same time as Jesus, or who even spoke his language?Leather Sewing
This is the most exciting project I have done lately. I was saving these leather pieces from an old jacket in the hopes that some day I would make myself the perfect tote bag, which I know I will never…
From the shadows
There will be many more pictures from this magical place that I will share on the blog. Coming back to the blog feels a bit awkward. It’s been a long time since I have felt inspired to write here. I…
BEAUTIFUL NECESSITY BY KAY TURNER
Beautiful Necessity, The Art and Meaning of Women’s Altars – the title of this book sounds very intriguing, right? I had to read it. And it started good. It seemed very interesting with a few initial references to altars in…
