pattydsf 's review for:
A Year of Biblical Womanhood
by Rachel Held Evans
Every so often there are books that I keep hearing about. I read reviews, friends talk about them, there are discussions on the Internet and with all that I manage to form an opinion without having read the book. The Da Vinci Code was one of those books. I felt like I knew the whole story before I got around to reading that novel. This memoir by Evans is another book that I felt I had already read.
I think this is a disservice to the author and the book. I started reading A Year of Biblical Womanhood thinking that I knew most of what Evans had done. She sat in a tent in her front yard and she followed other Biblical instructions. I was not ready for the Biblical stories Evans told or how all this affected her and her husband.
I am glad I finally got around to reading Evans' story. She shed light on some aspects of the Bible that I had not considered. She is good writer and knows how to hold her audience. I am not sure if she changed anyone's mind, but that is not important. Evans tried something new to her and learned from her experience. I am glad to have learned from her myself.
