ELAYNE'S LATEST BLOGAROUND includes a review of Jim Wallis's newish book, God's Politics, on Chris Brown's blog; and a quote from a piece Wallis has in Sojourners on Iddybud. I just finished Mermaid's Chair by Sue Monk Kidd (and if you loved her first novel, The Secret Life of Bees, you will love this new one); and I am thinking about what my next read should be. God's Politics was on my short list already; so the review was fortuitous for me.
