pickI was skeptical after the other white Christian Evangelical women‘s books I‘ve recently read. But this was a refreshing critique of the Christian Missionary Machine. #audiobook
Jamie made a bunch of templates of these for sharing purposes on her FB. Check out her page for the full post. bit.ly/2O5ea50
“You can love Jesus and call bullshit on your president.
You can love Jesus and call bullshit on your parents.
You can love Jesus and call bullshit on your pastor.
It‘s allowed.
If you are a Christian who sees other Christians behaving badly, you are allowed to stand up and say, “I love Jesus, but fuck that shit.”
Preach. Wish I could have heard this 20 years ago.
I bought a new reading pillow.
so-soBook could be unnecessarily crude at times but it is who she is. I thought often about bailing early on but stuck with it and it got better near the end. Thought provoking and interesting.
When your hold for TVWM becomes available the day after you finish Things Fall Apart. I think that‘s what church ppl call A Word From The Lord™️ 😂 #ISwear #HeatOfJuly #DeweyJuly #Readathon
pickI can relate so much with this having worked for a Christian non-profit in Budapest for a year. I think she said things how they needed to be said and it was something I needed to listen to.
pickJamie Wright never thought she would call herself a Christian, let alone become a missionary. Life doesn't always give you what you expect though. In this memoir, full of snark and sarcasm, Wright explores her faith and her path to a different perspective on how churches approach missionary work. Her snark and irreverence may not be for everyone, but it really worked for me.
This hits me right in the feels. Loved this book!
"No matter how much we beg and plead, nor how fervently we pray, having faith does not release us from the hard work of maturing."
pickYes I finished this #audiobook in one day. (It's only about 5 hours.) Such an unexpected delight!!! If you have ever questioned your faith read this book. (Read it even if you haven't.) It is not preachy. It's honest and real.
I picked this book because I needed a "V" book for my #litsyatoz challenge. I didn't know anything about it. I am LOVING IT!!!!
“You can sleep when you are dead.”
This was said to me when my youngest was a newborn and I had three children under 4. Literally, the WORST thing you can say to someone with a baby😂.
