This Here Flesh: Spirituality, Liberation, and the Stories That Make Us by Cole Arthur Riley

This is the first longer piece I’d read from the author, having followed her “Black Liturgies” on social media for some time. A mix of family memoir and a spiritual reflection rooted in the Christian tradition (but not restricted by it), the book draws in womanist and liberationist writers to explore our embodiedness as source of sacred wisdom.
