katrinky 's review for:
A Year of Biblical Womanhood
by Rachel Held Evans
I giggled reading about an evangelical christian learning about Judaism for the first time - I didn't realize how separate many Bible thumpers are from the origins of the Bible.
overall I liked this book, and found some of the insights compelling - especially at the end, when she argues that the bible will always give readers what they want to find, for better or worse, and so it's the task of readers (esp women) to form their own connections to god. I definitely like thinking about this project and this book as being a gateway drug for evangelicals to become more empathetic and, you know, christ-like.
the closing of the book is HUGELY disappointing, and I am pretending it does not exist. speaking of disappointments, remember mark driscoll? lol what a turd of a human being.
we would have gotten lots more good books from Rachel Held Evans, had she lived. a woman of valor. eshet chayil!
