review 1: I love this book. Honest and bold. It is inspiring to hear of her ongoing life and that it is not all just "wrapped up." And love the concept of others who confess. It seems like that is one of the big things we are missing in life. Telling others the deep things we carry and the dark places we go through. Of course I am a huge fan of "To Write Love On Her Arms" also. So big points there.Read this first for Len Sweet's Doctoral program at George Fox University. Recommend it often.
review 2: Jackson's book effectively describes hew own journey to embrace the many pains of her life and to give them voice in context that has been less than receptive - the church. As part of this process, she invited others to share their stories of things that they wouldn't talk ... moreabout in church and compiled an interesting insigth into the limits of community in many churches. She takes this further by offering some theological reflections with a view to opening up transparency and support in this context. less
