A book review by Melanie Lynn Griffin -- White Knuckle Love: A Memoir of Holding

"April Stace is a spiritual wrestler rivaling Jacob, and her memoir is a rough and tumble tale of her struggle with God and life. We are right in the ring with her as she moves from real-time struggles with vocation, religion, and finances, through flashbacks of battles with her family, her sexuality, and various religious and academic institutions ... White Knuckle Love is a must-read if you’re considering chaplaincy, the pastorate, or other spiritual care-giving work."

Opinion Page, Washington Post:
President Trump’s desperate push to desecrate this precious and pristine piece of God’s creation before Jan. 20 dishonors indigenous culture, denies the climate crisis and gives the definitive answer to the question we have been asking for four years: Is nothing sacred to this man? No, nothing is.

A humorous look at trying to drive the speed limit for Lent.
