Book Recommendations

Hey friends,No time to write for Substack over the weekend, so I am sending a short video instead. I’ve got four books to recommend, and they are all wildly different.A book of prayers and poems from Sharifa. A theology book for regular people from Jared Ortiz and Daniel Keating.A controversial history about (shocker!) women in the church from Beth Allison BarrA counseling resource from Michelle Keener.Some of these are already in your public libraries or available digitally through Libby. If you find any of them worth purchasing, consider using Bookshop.org for print or digital copies. Each purchase through my store supports Blue Apple Books, “a woman-owned independent bookstore in historic downtown Madison, Alabama, focused on community, creativity, and curiosity.” I have been FB friends with the owner, Robin Dauma, since we met as part of Jen Hatmaker’s long-ago book launch team.
