We Can Be Critical and Christian and Female All At The Same Time
I love reviewing books. I remember the first time I ever reviewed a book, and I was thrilled and happy beyond measure. Because when you review books, publishers send you review copies! And for someone like me, free books are almost always an unqualified GOOD. I will allow as how it is sometimes fun to […]

Don’t Criticize Notorious Leader Donald Miller
A few weeks ago, Donald Miller (who’s a New York Times bestselling author and a popular blogger) wrote a post about how, as an introvert, he must order his life so that he can get his writing done. One of the things he does is “make sure [he has] until 5 each day completely free […]

Immodesty All Over The Map
I have a new post up at Christianity Today: “A North American evangelical woman walking the streets of Zomba, Malawi—where I live—might assume that women here are immodest. Spend any length of time talking to a woman with a baby of nursing age, and you’re almost certain to see her take her entire breast out […]

Sweet-Tarts in their Resurrection Bodies
I’m not even going to pretend to write a new recipe for today’s Wednesday Recipe. Because it’s June 5, 2013, and if you missed the recipe I posted on June 6, 2012, you need to not miss it now. When we decided to try and grow some strawberries in the yard, I kind of assumed […]
