Speaking of Faith Audiobook

" some interesting quotes, a great poem by Rilke in the beginning, wasn't satisfying as a memoir, which i think the book was. she was "in her head" too much. i love her radio show, however. "

" I used this for a 3 week Sunday School lesson. It was well received by my class, but I thought her writing was somewhat disjointed. She tells about her journey of faith from a Fundamentalist background to an acceptance of other world views. "

" A terrific look at one person's journey through her faith which encompasses wonderful anecdotes as to how and why she is where she is. "

" This is a must read for anyone grappling for meaning or faith. Tippett brings light to the ideas and conversations that matter most. I felt that she synthesized many of the conversations I've had over time with individuals at different places on the religion/spirituality spectrum. I loved this book and plan to share it with others in the future. "

" A very interesting autobiography from the woman at NPR's "Speaking of Faith" program. The first chapter was a little difficult to navigate but beyond that the book was very interesting. The book was purchased as a read for an adult Bible study and was well received. "

" I loved this book. I love Krista Tippett and her podcast OnBeing. "

" A little academic and dry, but also very sane and interesting. She calls out the weirdos for being weirdos and the facists for being facists on both sides of the divide. I did a lot of underlining. "

" While I really love her radio show and enjoyed seeing her speak this fall, the book wasn't really that interesting. "

" So far: That St. John's in Collegeville nurtures spiritual writers and.... Truly God-smacked folks foster openness to surprises from God and awareness of thin places. "

" I just really liked this book. "

" I really enjoy Krista's radio show, but found the book kind of meandering. I didn't actually finish reading the book. There are some good points, but not interesting enough to draw me all the way through. "

" Personal and prophetic, Tippett's work emphasizes the meaning that can be found when thoughtful, humble, and sincere people come together and speak from their hearts about their faiths. "

" Excellent book. Thought-provoking, challenging, wise. It deals with complex concepts, looking at faith from the point of view of society (i.e. its function in society, etc.). Took time to read because I had to keep rereading, first to understand and then to ponder. "

" there were times of great insight and times of treacherous scientific detailing that I'm not in to, but overall I love her perspective on faith and belief through personal experience, very glad her program is on the air, great dialogue. "

" This book helped me get a new perspective on faith, religion and spirituality. "

" Read this for my book group. Didn't expect to find it interesting, but I did. Tippett touches on many different aspect of faith, and includes some personal anecdotes as well. "

" This has been a most influential book in my journey of religious thought. Tippett speaks through her writing as if you were sitting with her over a cup of tea, and she gently nudges the reader to stretch their boundaries. I read it at a time when those boundaries needed to be stretched. "

" This book provided many insights, but was unfocused and did not seem to accomplish the purpose set out in the subtitle. "

" So much food for thought! I appreciate her respect for the good, ordinary, faithful people in the world and her understanding of how religion can be a blessing or a curse for society, depending on how it is lived ("thick" vs "thin" religion). "

" Excellent -- perspective for those who are not willing to settle for "everything's caste in concrete" type of religious faith/beliefs. "

" gorgeous, intellectual look at something that has often been so anti-intellectual in my life. "

" Pretty interesting--I'll stick with her [awesome] podcast from American Public Media though. "

" Love her show. She is a remarkable interviewer. Although she seemed rather uncomfortable with the writing of this book, I warmed up to it and actually found much of it to be rather like poetry. "
