I too tend to read biographies and memoirs because I want to know how other people "did it"--lived their lives.Chris Glaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053827119412315808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575514155486283253.post-86074456948184250872012-05-23T07:47:06.513-04:002012-05-23T07:47:06.513-04:00Needless to say, I thoroughly disagree with your c...Needless to say, I thoroughly disagree with your critic. Although I never reviewed "Uncommon Calling", which I read years before Amazon even existed, I consider it one of the several key books in my own pilgrimage. Although my own spiritual memoir has never been published, I believe that it too has served a major purpose in not only helping me personally to heal some of the wounds inflicted by homophobic religious and cultural attitudes, but has also served others with whom I personally shared my reflections. At a Woman Church conference in 1983, I became keenly aware that "telling our stories" is an absolutely essential part of the witness to which God calls us. That is why I now find myself more powerfully drawn to read autobiographies and memoirs than any other type of writing. Thank you again.Trudiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866513608442388870noreply@blogger.com
