Rating:  - Well worth reading
This book just "popped" up as an advertised suggestion for me, and after looking at the details on Amazon, I decided to order it. I am doing a lot of soul searching about my own faith journey, and am having a struggle with the Institutional Church not truly following the teachings of Jesus, having gotten enmired in politics and building empire. I felt this book was speaking to me, and is one I could hardly put down. It is well written, and certainly one I would, and have recommended to others.
Rating: - Leaving Church
This book is such a good read and truly reflects much of my personal experience- I treasure the author's way of writing about nature and so many of her feelings.
Rating: - Always a good read
BBT has been a favorite author for many years. This book is just another in a series of thoughtful, spiritual and hope-filled writings from a great author.
Rating:  - interesting journey
I enjoyed reading the memoir Leaving Church. I enjoy hearing other people's faith journeys and this was well written. It shows that faith and seeking God broadens and changes as it grows. The author is open about this process and how it isn't always easy, especially when you are invested in the process.
Rating: - Another great Taylor book
I must admit in the beginning that I am a Barbara Brown Taylor fan. She is an excellent writer as well as a truly honest human being. To be able to write an auto-biography such as this is admirable.
It seems to me that many of us question the institutional church. Ms. Taylor, who was so deeply engrossed in it as a priest of the Episcopal Church, was faced with the same question. She had the guts to follow
her inner-being and act accordingly, knowing that God's love for her will
never cease. God's kingdom doesn't need the institutional MAN-made church!
