Reviews

[Julie]

I have appreciated the author’s trek into what it means to be a lover of God and the church. She has followed her trail with wit and warmth. I wish I could think out loud about the arc of my journey with such cogency! Imagine finding a great old travel trunk in the attic of your great grandparent’s Victorian house. Then imagine having the pleasure of exploring its contents, expecting magic, with your best friend. This has been my experience over the years reading Rachel’s stories. At the same time, even though I may not always agree with her, I have never felt that she insulted my intelligence.
