Description

Since talking about censorship wasn't hard enough, we've taken it upon ourselves--at listener behest--to talk about one of the hardest, most personal things there is: faith. These are some of the books that got us thinking and growing and changing, and we hope, at the very least, that they are useful to your journey. You can read Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux and Daniel Cox's piece on 538. You can listen to the "Apocalypse Now" episode of NPR's Throughline podcast here. You can listen to our old, old episode on "grief literature" here. Also, The Life of Pi came out in 2002, which we know now! + Leaving Church by by Barbara Brown Taylor + A Grief Observed by C. S. Lewis + Supper of the Lamb by Robert Farrar Capon + The Life of Pi by Yann Martel + A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza + Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl + Walking on Water by Madeleine L'Engle + Christ and Culture by Richard Neibuhr + Searching for Sunday by Rachel Held Evans + The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry + The Explanation for Everything by Lauren Grodstein + Small Blessings by Martha Woodruff + Hogfather by Terry Pratchett Thanks, as always, to Forlorn Strangers for the use of our theme music.
