Cold Tangerines: Celebrating the Extraordinary Nature of Everyday Life by Shauna Niequist
4.0
I've been meaning to read this book since I started reading Shauna's blogposts a while ago. I meant to read it more when I started her devotional book last year. I meant to read it even more when I saw her speak in November. Then my library made it available as an audiobook with Shauna herself as the reader, and the time became now, which is really well timed. I don't think I would have been as receptive to her encouragement about celebration in the face of busyness and hard seasons if I had read it any earlier. This book is what I needed to read (hear) today. I needed her honesty about the harm that comes of being tough on yourself. I needed her wisdom about choice and shalom. I needed her stories to breathe life into mine.
