N - 32 | When the Heart Waits Spiritual Direction for Life’s Sacred Questions by Sue Monk Kidd

April 30, 2020 / in Autobiography, Nonfiction, Religion, Self Help, Spirituality, Sue Monk Kidd / with No comments /

I stood at the window watching the cocoon, which hung in the winter air like an upside–down question mark. That was the moment... I understood. Really understood. Crisis, change, all the myriad upheavals that blister the spirit and leave us groping– they aren't voices simply of pain but also of creativity. And if we would only listen, we might hear such times beckoning us to a season of waiting, to the place of fertile emptiness.

N - 37 | The Dance of the Dissident Daughter by Sue Monk Kidd

April 27, 2020 / in Autobiography, Feminism, Nonfiction, Religion, Spirituality, Sue Monk Kidd / with No comments /

The acclaimed spiritual memoir from the author of The Secret Life of Bees.

I was amazed to find that I had no idea how to unfold my spiritual life in a feminine way. I was surprised and, in fact, a little terrified when I found myself in the middle of a feminist spiritual reawakening.

Sue Monk was a "conventionally religious, churchgoing woman, a traditional wife and mother" with a thriving career as a Christian writer until she began to question her role as a woman in her culture, her family, and her church.

April 19, 2020 / in Adventure, Autobiography, Cultural-Africa, History, Nonfiction, Tim Butcher, Travel / with No comments /

Ever since Stanley first charted its mighty river in the 1870s, the Congo has epitomized the dark and turbulent history of a failed continent. However, its troubles only served to increase the interest of Daily Telegraph correspondent Tim Butcher, who was sent to cover Africa in 2000. Before long he became obsessed with the idea of recreating Stanley’s original expedition — but travelling alone.
