L.M. Penner is a lapsed Protestant. (Is there even such a thing?) For better or worse, though, her thoughts on faith are informed by her Christian upbringing, and this book of creative non-fiction essays reflects that fact.

Although no longer a church attendee, her faith in God remains. How the divine reveals itself in her life and what walking out her faith looks like now, in 2024, is hugely different than it was pre-2016. Because she knows she is not the only one who feels this way. L.M. Penner wrote this book and is sharing her thoughts about living a spiritual life with you.

This book begins with a death and ends with forgiveness -- not unlike Christianity itself. Perhaps L.M. Penner is not so lapsed after all.

How about you?
