5.0 out of 5 stars Tracie Lind is a refreshingly honest religious thinker, October 1, 2004

On the fence but not about this book (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Interrupted by God: Glimpses from the Edge (Hardcover)

The author's highly personal story illuminates Jesus' life and teachings. There is no us vs. them self-righteousness in this book. And we aren't encouraged to believe that faith alone will bring us to God. To the contrary we are challenged to go to the uncomfortable edges of life, including inside ourselves, to find God. Lind's book made Jesus' life and teachings more accessible for me. To love the stranger is to know and to love God. I am glad to have been introduced to this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true gift for any reader., September 27, 2004

This review is from: Interrupted by God: Glimpses from the Edge (Hardcover)

While one is tempted to dwell upon these striking black and white photographs that seem to capture the soul of the subjects (individuals and places), the essays themselves are what really push the "edge" in gaining a glimpse of the Divine in the lives of people who inhabit the margins of daily life. The book is also an extraordinary value. It's rare to find a hardcover book of this length, with photographs, slighly oversized, at $24. A true gift for any reader.

This review is from: Interrupted by God: Glimpses from the Edge (Hardcover)

This is a book for those for whom the traditional church is perhaps not especially relevant. Out of her mixed, "edgy" background, Lind challenges conventional thinking about what is a church, and what is God. Her stories, about the interruptions through which she has met the Spirit, argue for a wider, more inclusive faith.
