Quiet Time At Home Calls For Good Books
There’s nothing like being at home. Days later, TV flashing light across the evening floor, a tablet opened to your favorite social media site, and there’s nothing like being at home too long.
Because, home really is where the heart is. Home is comforting, a safe place, the spot where you lay your burdens down. But, let a rush freelance project, unexpected school change or other shift require you t Read more of this blog post »

“Everybody else is working to change, persuade, tempt and control them. The best readers come to fiction to be free of all that noise.”

“The disobedience if Eve in the Genesis story has been used to justify women's inequality and suffering in many Christian traditions. Thus, what is understood as women's complicity in evil leads much traditional theological reflection on suffering to offer the "consequent admonition to 'grin and bear it' because such is the deserved place of women." Similarly, when Jesus is seen as a divine co-sufferer, the potentially liberating narratives of Jesus as a revolutionary leader who takes the side of the poor and dispossessed can be ignored in favor of religious beliefs more interested in Jesus as a stoic victim. Christ's suffering is inverted and used to justify women's continued suffering in systems of injustice by framing it as redemptive.”
