Love Thy Neighbor | 
pickAs a conservative Christian in a red state, this was thought-provoking. I agree it's good to understand what other religions say, and believe his stories of Islamaphobia are true. But when he says thinks like (paraphrased from memory), “Do Christians really believe that I am going to Hell?“ with the tone that his selfless, generous life should save him, I'm left like, “Well... yes.“ We never get to hear his friend Pastor Mandy's take on that.
pickI don‘t blame Dr. Virji for being angry. He took a job that filled a desperate need for a doctor in a rural community, built a thriving hospital, & a separate business that employed local people, only to be met with hate after the 2016 election.
We live in a divided world. Politics haven‘t been this divisive in decades. It breaks my heart that fear and ignorance have closed minds.
A very important book. Read with an open heart. #bookspin
I have finished the third quarter of #Booked2019. Just in time. These were my six books. Now I‘m starting planning for the last quarter. Are you already thinking about #Booked2020, @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen ?! 😘
pickA Muslim doctor in Minnesota wakes up the morning after the election to discover that not only is Trump president but his town overwhelmingly voted for him. Feeling betrayed by his neighbors his first impulse is to leave but he then partners with a local pastor to give a speech about his faith which then turns into a series of lectures. I found this short audiobook absorbing and affective.
