Judith Forgoston is an author, blogger, former Bible school teacher, and passionate world traveler who’s called four different continents her home.

She has sailed a tjalk in the Dutch Seas, ridden bareback along the rugged Connemara coast, eaten buñuelos in rural Colombia and luwombo in Uganda, and taught Bible stories under tin roofs in India.

Her NGO work birthed in her a desire to help other followers of Jesus to lead authentic and compassionate lives free from religious burdens.

She recently moved back to her home country of Switzerland with her husband and three children after having spent the last decade living in Altlanta. She blogs at www.judithforgoston.com

A Broken Hallelujah is her first novel.

There is nothing wrong with this book. It's an enjoyable read, easy and breezy. Perfect for a beach read. And yet.. Spark's depiction of a religious main character is strangely hollow even though it is meant to be positive. It feels like the author w ...more

As much as I love and admire Engers beautiful, poetic language - this story was too dark for me. There are wonderfully warm and hopeful scenes, but for every one of these the reader encounters many times as much cruelty, hopelessness and desolation. ...more
