RevGalBookPals: Still by Lauren Winner

Lauren Winner generously provided many, many copies of her new book, Still, to RevGalBlogPals.

She gave the books with no strings attached, but we are immensely grateful for her generosity.

Many of us have had the book for several weeks now and a few of us (I hope) have gotten around to reading some or all of it.

I found it so conversational that I had trouble putting it down. It felt like I was interrupting her in the middle of a thought. The writing style is unconventional and a little unpolished, but it worked for me for this particular topic from this certain writer. My review of Still is here.

What about you?

Today, let's talk about Still. Post a link to your own review in the comment section. If you are not certain how to write a review, pick out a couple passages that were significant to you and comment on them briefly. Even if your comment is, "This moved me and I'm still figuring out why," someone else may well relate to that experience.

Let us show our appreciation for Winner today by offering up inspiration and thought-provoking questions that came to us through her writing in Still.

RevGalBookPal Extra: Looking ahead with Still

Still feel a little dizzy after the Holy Week merry-go-round? Not yet ready to think about sermon writing? Feeling at loose ends and a need a re-focus moment?

Let's get Still

Actually, you should have already received your copy if you participated in the very generous giveaway Lauren Winner did in connection with RevGalBlogPals. 

Next Monday, in this spot, we'll have a space for discussion the books and highlighting what was enjoyable, though-provoking, curious, and relatable. 

I encourage you to write a little review of the book on your own blog and be ready to post the link next Monday! (Next Monday.) 

So, let's str-e-e-e-tch out our post-Easter rest (we are resting, right?) for a little longer and dig into Still, in anticipation of discussing it together next week.
