In reply to ~ linda. We could have a long conversation about Jesus and John Wayne! :) It affected me the same as you: angry and sad, yet grateful to have read it. Sigh. It makes me concerned about what's next. I pray it's a course-correction for all of us to reset and reexamine our lives to see if we're truly reflecting Jesus or not.

Oh Lisa, I am one chapter from the end of “Jesus & John Wayne…” and the pain level is horrific. I am angry and sad to read this book, but am grateful to have read it. I wanted to know this even though I did not! I followed the likes of James Dobson and Focus on the Family for years and feel so disappointed in groups and people such as this. But in this reading, I have become far more aware of what I did not understand and what has possibly happened to so many of my friends. Oh God, help us all and guide those who have gone so far off the path, who have infiltrated and steered so many astray…I do believe. Thanks for recommending this book to me, Lisa.

I am slowly moving through Atlas of the Heart and learning the language of emotions. Love how she titled this book too. Thanks for your list. I always find good to read!

In reply to Deborah Rutherford. Sarah's book was helpful to me too! Thanks for sharing about Blue Sky. That's a new one to me; I like learning of books that others recommend.

In reply to Lynn D. Morrissey.

I’m so enjoying your book, Lynn! Hearing your stories and God’s faithfulness have been encouraging me as I read each day.

Mike does have a point…just words mixed up in different ways! lol.

Very interesting set of books, Lisa! I particularly like the sound of Cultish and Jesus & John Wayne.

I always so much appreciate your reading list and especially brief reviews. It’s so helpful as I add to my reading fodder. (I will not credit you to Michael who is trying to deter my book habit. “How many words can you read?” asks he. “They’re all the same, just mixed up in different ways)”!

What does Mike know?!

And imagine my shock to see one of the tomes I’ve written among your “currently reading” list. How sweet of you to do that, Lisa! The book is getting rare as hen’s teeth, b/c it was published in 2004. But how gracious of you to list it.

Happy reading, Lisa, my favorite bibliophile!

I do want to read Wholehearted Faith…I put it on my TBR pile and have been looking for it while out book thrifting 😉

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for the recommendations. I just finished “Blue Sky” by James Barnett – such a sweet book. And before that “Transforming Your Thought Life” by Sarah Geringer – very inspirational and helpful.
