July's Book Chat-- Picking Dandelions by Sarah Cunningham

The Mom-tage would like to invite you to our July book chat, sponsored by Zondervan Publishing, with Sarah Cunningham, author of Picking Dandelions, A Search for Eden Among Life's Weeds.  Join us to discuss Picking Dandelions with the charming and witty Sarah Cunningham.  Giveaways will be held all throughout the chat based on questions about the content of the book. Our chat box can be found on the right hand column. 

Sarah Raymond Cunningham is a high school teacher, part-time college professor, and chief diaper changer.  She is a popular church and conference speaker, the author of Dear Churched, and a contributor to several book, including unChristian.  Sarah and her husband, Chuck, live with their son, Justus, and their manic Jack Russell in Jackson, Michigan.  They attend a church plant called Rivertree.

 Description:

In Picking Dandelions, author Sarah Cunningham explains how coming to religion through the front door--rather than through a weeping, born-again conversion--can make it difficult to understand how faith changes life, and even harder to grasp why it must. This memoir is a candid and personal account of outgrowing laissez-faire Christianity, moving into mature faith, and realizing that a God-following person is a changing person ... and you just might follow suit. 

What some  are saying:

~Sarah describes herself as a moderate middle-class white girl who grew up in the Michigan countryside, but speaks about God with humor and honesty more characteristic of liberal west-coast writers. Anne Lamott is one of her faves. Susanisaacs.net

~I'm a fan of Sarah Cunningham. For many reasons. And I'm a fan of her latest book, Picking Dandelions. You should buy a copy. ...Sarah has a fresh perspective on faith, a writing style that is personal and unique, and an uncanny way to make you laugh, smile, and cry all within a couple of pages. -Bradlomenick.com

It's sort of refreshing that Sarah, raised in the right wing, can weave elements of faith into a spiritual memoir too because it suggests that there are valid, messy spiritual discoveries for all of us, no matter what corner of the earth or political landscape we grow up on. -Anne Jackson, Flowerdust.net
