My Year Of Everything

I know I said I was going to share some of the more thought-provoking elements of “Sundays In America,” but I’m not sure there are any.

That sounds harsh, and I feel bad pooh-poohing a book about religion. But she raises a lot of the same points I’ve already gone into here (exclusion in the name of religion, churchgoing out of obligation, etc) and then doesn’t do anything with them. Like: “Oh, it’s a shame that some people just pray by reciting words when they could be deepening their experience by meditating more freely. Anyway, goodbye!” Delve, Suzanne Strempek Shea! 

This book is what Christian reformer Martin Luther would call “kind of a snoozeburger.” I cast it from my sight!
