Keep the Faith:To Live and Be Heard from the Heavens Above

By Stacey Chillemi

Stacey Chillemi is a young writer, speaker and leader in the epilepsy community. She is a Christian, who went on a spiritual journey, found her place in the world and most importantly, discovered Jesus' relevance for everyday life. This book, in its own elliptical way, tells the tale of that journey. Her style of writing enlightens and her poetic analysis of life as a Christian personally revealing rather than profoundly insightful. As such, it offers a postmodern riff on the classic evangelical presentation of the Gospel, complete with a concluding call to commitment. Written as a series of short essays on vaguely theological topics (faith, grace, belief, love, life, happiness), and disguised theological topics (magic, romance, ETC), it is at times plodding or simplistic, and sometimes falls into merely self-indulgent musing. But more often Chillemi is enjoyably clever, and her poetic story is telling and beautiful, even poignant.
