Reviews

SOMEONE OTHER THAN A MOTHER
”Smart, funny, wise…the only book I can think of to send my very few childfree friends who still believe that is a personal failure of some sort.” — Barbara Brown Taylor, New York Times bestselling author

”A liberating treatise on the many vocational paths open to us all.” — Jeannine M. Pitas, National Catholic Reporter

LESSONS IN BELONGING
“Erin Lane challenges us to imagine a faith in which belonging is just as important as believing. This will be another excellent resource for those who are struggling with church.” –  C. Christopher Smith, Relevant Magazine

“Part church history, part spiritual memoir, part theological treatise on Christian community, Lessons in Belonging suggests how we might shed ‘illusions of how belonging should happen.'” – Anne Blue Wills, The Christian Century

TALKING TABOO
“To read Talking Taboo is to have a long conversation with that woman. For some, her story may be familiar; for others, her voice and perspective may be new. Either way, the thing to do is to listen.” – Rebecca Kraybill, Sojourners

“This significant book offers a glimpse of the diverse lived realities of Christian women and encourages the church to accept the full humanity of women.”
– Publisher Weekly, Starred Review
