What's New?

June 12, 2026

Braving the Truth: Essential Essays for Reckoning with and Reimagining Faith, by Rachel Held Evans, edited by Sarah Bessey, is a perfect tribute to Rachel Held Evans - a collection of her blog posts combined with essays from people whose lives and thinking and heart were changed by her writing and her life.

My vacation is starting soon! My posting reviews will be sparse for a couple weeks, but I will come back with tales of Mont Saint-Michel and Giverny on my Sonderjourneys blog.

Happy Reading!
