So ends this meditative, lingering experience, with this quote from Rumi. Appropriate for our current time. #NFNovember #book1

“Slowly, over time, God had moved further and further away, until He was eventually nothing more than an idea - and someone else‘s idea, at that.”

No, it‘s not as good as Our Fathers, but this story about a young woman and her 12 year old daughter, falling under the spell of The Prophet, pulled me in from the first page and I read it in a day!

Suet624 😊 I agree - that was the thing about the story - I could not put it down. Glad it worked for you. 5d
TheKidUpstairs I bought this one after we read Our Fathers. Haven't gotten to it yet, but I will! Glad to hear it's another pick 😊 5d
BarbaraBB @TheKidUpstairs I did too. In the meantime I also read this one, which is another favorite 5d

Easiest bingo I ever got! Started this book over coffee this morning only to get to page 5 of the introduction to see an underline. So I flip through, and yup, I already read this 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 It is relieving to know that I at least remember read books once I start to re-read them.

The Misunderstood Jew | Amy-Jill Levine
post image
Pickpick

This was my first intro to Amy-Jill Levine, and I‘m definitely planning to read more from her. How can you not read on when the intro begins with the sentence: “When I was a child, my ambition was to be pope.” 😂 This, from a Jewish New Testament scholar.

Levine offers a fresh, much-needed perspective on Jesus and his New Testament context. She emphasizes that Christians tend to interpret the New Testament solely through the context of the ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) Old Testament, which results in an inaccurate & mistaken picture of what first-century Judaism actually looked like—and often leads to projecting anti-Semitic views onto the text & out into the world. Her writing is accessible & approachable, and although I found her characterization of the Apostle Paul a little harsh, she makes a powerful case for careful study of the historical context as well as for a more robust interfaith dialogue. 1w
TheBookHippie I wanted to be a nun 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1w
BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie 😂😂 Reminds me of Anastasia Krupnik and her desire to be a Catholic because of the fancy white confirmation dress 😆 Levine said some of her attraction to the position was that she really liked the pope‘s hat 🤣 1w

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
This book was the opposite of Betty and I am grateful for that. I needed to quiet my brain. I loved all the small stories of the narrators life. All those thoughts you have that you file away, that then pop up later. Some are profound, enlightening and instrumental to your past, while others are just bits of fluff, insignificant observations. #Ozfiction

Singout A poignant quote as I visit my parents: my dad has just returned from rehab after three months and will probably never walk again. He‘s trying very hard with walkers, wheelchairs, and stair gliders, but it‘s really hard. For him and us. 1w
