pickI‘ve been listening to this a chapter a day for the last few weeks and enjoyed it. As @Lcsmcat said it‘s more of a memoir than an instruction manual but I liked the stories. I‘m almost always interested in stories of women in power and how they got there. I wish she would do an update for the year 2025.

pickMore a memoir than an instruction manual, but a heartening and inspiring book for our times. #BeBrave Thanks for coming along for the ride @kspenmoll @Deblovestoread @Bookwormjillk
so-soThe Abbey, by James Martin(2015)
Premise: Two suburbanites are drawn into the life of a local monastery.
Review: A good effort at fiction by a popular nonfiction writer, but this probably should have stayed a nonfiction ‘monasticism for dummies‘ book.

How‘s everyone doing with this? I‘m six chapters in, and I think the title might have been more accurate if it were Learning to Be Brave. I‘m enjoying reading about Bishop Budde‘s journey, but I was hoping for more practical advice, I guess. Thoughts? #BeBrave @kspenmoll @Deblovestoread @Bookwormjillk

I‘ve read the intro and first two chapters already, so I am not going to be able to stretch this out over the 40 days of Lent. 🙂 Thurman is an author/theologian I have read, but Buddy is adding to my list with other quotes and references, so I still think it a good Lenten choice. The above quote succinctly expresses my frustration with the “Christian” Right and its co-opting of Jesus. Any thoughts yet? @kspenmoll @Deblovestoread @Bookwormjillk
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 I became interested in Bishop Budde‘s work after her comments during the ceremony at her church after the inauguration. There are some calming words of wisdom, but I also found it a bit uneven, with a lot of focus on her specific career ups and downs in the middle. I did think it finished a little stronger. A bit of a softer pick than I expected it to be.
