It should be titled 'How I survived my fundamentalist family.' To be honest it is mostly juvenile; however, it did make a turn when she finally realizes her own bigotry and intolerance at play. ( ) I really enjoyed this memoir. It was well-written, compelling, funny, serious, and engaging. My background is different from Peterson's but we share a love of forests, Puget Sound, and the awe that comes from the world around us. I appreciated the struggles she went through, and her deep love for her family despite all the differences.
It is a rich and often lovely life -- full of humor and Peterson's own unique brand of faith. Prestigefyllda urval
In Brenda Peterson's unusual memoir, fundamentalism meets deep ecology. The author's childhood in the high Sierra with her forest ranger father led her to embrace the entire natural world, while her Southern Baptist relatives prepared eagerly and busily to leave this world. Peterson survived fierce "sword drill" competitions demanding total recall of the Scriptures and awkward dinner table questions ("Will Rapture take the cat, too?") only to find that environmentalists with prophecies of doom can also be Endtimers. Peterson paints such a hilarious, loving portrait of each world that the reader, too, may want to be Left Behind. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
