So, what's a woman supposed to do when she has a stack of review books, several stacks of mooched books, swapped books or books from the giveaway box at work? Why, go to the library and get more books, of course. (Honest, the only reason I was at the library is that the weather was bad and my little one wanted to go somewhere)... I enjoyed Lisa Samson's The Passion of Mary Margaret, so I decided to try some of her other books. I'm glad I did.

At first made me fear being a pastors wife. But it's a good story and brings up good stuff.

Finally a book that addresses the petty-ness that we experience in Christianity. Again--recommended by Gloria. This book was wonderful and convicting all at the same time...
