This is the only audiobook I ever listened to. I didn't like it, but then I felt guilty, so I had to read it. I didn't like that, either. Liked the movie though.

Well, I'm trying to think of what to say about this book. Chapter 10 resonated with me, not so much about the decision to leave church, but about my own decision to leave the teaching profession many years ago. The feelings she described paralleled my own feelings. On page 220 she says, "The way many of us are doing church is broken and we know it, even if we do not know what to do about it. We proclaim the priesthood of all believers while we continue living with hierarchical clergy, liturgy, and architecture. We follow a Lord who challenged the religious and political institutions of his time while we fund and defend our own." Having just gone through the bullying, terroristic threats of "Church Alive!" in the Diocese of Pittsburgh, I found that quote to be especially meaningful. Aside from that, I thought her writing skills were adequate, not outstanding. Maybe she's a better speaker than she is a writer. She used one of my pet peeves (Miss Burke would be so proud of me). "I could care less". No, no, no, no, no. It's "I couldn't care less", as in I could not possibly care any less than I already do. I am at the very lowest possible point of caring. If I could care less, then I still care at least a little bit. Aaaaargh!
