Disquiet Time: Rants and Reflections on the Good Book by the Skeptical, the Faithful and a Few Scoundrels - Tapa dura

"The writers come from all walks of life-"nonconformists and oddballs"-and approach the Bible in their own idiosyncratic ways. But while the writers may take the Bible seriously, that doesn't mean they can't have fun in the process, for, as the subtitle also suggests, the moods reflected here are often irreverent, even playful." "Booklist"" "This is a sturdy book, a thoroughly satisfying and totally credible book. Well-conceived and well executed, it offers honest words about holy things, which means that it is also a brave book. I, for one, am grateful." "Phyllis Tickle, author, "The Age of the Spirit """ "Cathleen and Jennifer are wonderful writers as well as wonderful people and this collection of wonderful essays is in a word: "Lovely." You thought I was going to say 'wonderful, ' didn't you? I'm AN ENIGMA!!" "Pete Holmes, Comedian and talk show host"" ""Disquiet Time "takes us down a thrilling, provocative, and often beautiful path that leads to the deepest parts of ourselves, and the deepest parts of Christ. This book is for folks who don't just want to read the Bible; they want to laugh, wrestle and cry with the Bible. And that's just the place God wants us to be." "Joshua DuBois, former head of the White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships and author of "The President's Devotional""" ""Disquiet Time" is a devotional for humans, a daily reading for the messy, doubt-filled, sometimes irreverent people who love God or hope to some day. Though hinged on some of the Bible's most deranged narratives, [the book]...is strangely comforting, a spiritual hodgepodge that is deep and convicting, hopeful and honest, quirky and wise. For believers, cynics, and misfit souls, "Disquiet Time" is a welcomed invitation to doubt, laugh, fight, debate, and trust." "Matthew Paul Turner, author of "Our Great Big American God" and "Churched""" "This rich collection of essays is thoughtful, engaging, and provocative. A must-read." "Margaret Feinberg, author of "Wonderstruck """
