Still

Short Review: Loneliness and distance from God are inevitable parts of spiritual growth. In many ways it is almost surprising that so many people do not see it coming. Winner was thrust into ‘Christian celebrity' with her first two popular books Girl Meets God and Real Sex. She is young, wears cool hip glasses, has real academic credentials and is a good speaker. But the problem with being thrust into the spotlight young is that there is still a lot of growth that needs to occur. Still is a story of how she worked through some of that needed growth and found the importance of a local faith community. It is also the story of recovery from divorce, and the pain of losing a mother at a young age. Parts of this are more poetry than prose, but that is probably true with many books that recount pain and loneliness.
