“Thoughtful, provocative, and infused with a kind of joy that’s needed right now.”
–Melanie Springer Mock, in Mennonite Life.
Shirley Showalter’s blog presents a “hopelessly Granola Mennonite” specimen, an envelope sent by her husband Stuart, and, well, you should just see it yourself. Of the book, she writes, “Frankly, I wasn’t sure I would like a book with this title, but I found myself admiring the author’s honesty, grit, and determination to craft her own kind of life, connected to family and faith, but not determined by them. The voice is quiet on the surface but fierce underneath. The humor bites your ankles as you recognize both satire and praise song.”
But that’s not all! My dad, who volunteers at Booksavers, tells me that a copy of Martyrs and Chickens has arrived on the shelves. We’ve made it to the used book circuit, now. Buying books used? +3 on the Granola Mennonite scorecard. Used books that support MCC? +5!
