My book, Unla­dy­like: Resist­ing the Injus­tice of Inequal­ity in the Church, has been out for eight months.  Dur­ing this time I have heard from many read­ers who tell me how Unla­dy­like has given them courage to respond to Chris­tian­ized sex­ism.  I keep every email. These points of con­tact encour­age me that what I set out to do with my first book is being real­ized and it is this: To empower women to own their story and not wait for some­one else to revise it for them  As a writer, I am fully aware of the neces­sity of revi­sion and rewrites. An oft quoted … Keep read­ing …

A busy month of May for me as we gear up for my daughter’s high school grad­u­a­tion.

Unla­dy­like Quote

A quote from Unla­dy­like: Resist­ing the Injus­tice of Inequal­ity in the Church (page 144) This quote is ded­i­cated to the women who qui­etly com­mit sub­ver­sive acts in the story they find them­selves in. Much like Kat­niss in The Hunger Games, there is a grow­ing com­pany of women who are becom­ing agi­tated within their faith tribes as they real­ize that women are side­lined.  I think this agi­ta­tion will con­tinue to grow until we see women and men joined together in the full­ness of col­lab­o­ra­tion and equal­ity within the global tribe known as The Body of Christ.

The Engle­wood Review of Books reviews Unladylike

This lat­est review of my first book, Unla­dy­like: Resist­ing the Injus­tice of Inequal­ity in the Church, is one of my favorites. The reviewer pro­vides a thought­ful response to the take­away she got from read­ing it. I was espe­cially pleased that she con­nected the dots of why I did not overly empha­size Bible schol­ar­ship in the book. She got it, and for that, I give her review five stars! I am not in the habit of review­ing reviews, though of course I read all of them, yet this one stood out to me. There are 17 reviews up on Ama­zon, and I … Keep read­ing …
