A review by shakespeareyen
Lessons in Belonging from a Church-Going Commitment Phobe by Parker J. Palmer, Erin S. Lane

3.0

The author and I are very different in many ways, but we can agree on what matters most at the core. She writes so poetically and though I got kind of lost at some points on how it related to the main point/purpose of the book, I think she got the main idea thoroughly. There were some points that I’m not too sure I believe, but I appreciate her honesty and willingness to call herself out on things that she knows is a lie that she can’t shake. More than advice on belonging, I definitely felt affirmed in my need to belong and how church community plays a role in that, as well as how I should play a mutual role in church community.
