Giveaway: In the Land of Believers by Gina Welch
Logging you in...
*sigh* I have resisted this book way too long. It needs to be part of my life. Thanks, Amy -- excellent giveaway! :D
I really want to read this one, so thank you for the giveaway!
I read this last year too. In fact, I was so confident I would like it that I bought the hardcover for $16. It was worth the money, and it now has a permanent place on my shelf. I couldn't help but wonder at the end of the book, if Gina had gone undercover in a different church–say Redeemer Pres in NYC or some other place that took a more intellectual approach to Christianity, didn't use horror shows to try and convert people out of fear, and refrained from preaching politics from the pulpit–would things have turned out differently for her spiritually?
There is proud and love to worship the God who is the creator of the whole universe. We must have strong beliefs.
