Book Review: Giving Sorrow Words

by Melinda Tankard Reist

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is an intense read. I will now live with imagery that cannot be erased but I am glad I read this book. It opens up a whole new world on the other side of abortion that I had not considered, despite my strongly held beliefs about abortion.

The book includes many testimonies between a heart-breaking introduction including excerpts from other stories that couldn't be included in the book and an information-packed afterword discussing some studies done in the area of abortion-grief.

This book is worth-while, especially if you seek to understand the choices around abortion more completely.

A festival of ideas

Coming up on the 15th of August, the Big Idea Festival will be my first course or workshop through Big Picture Classes. I love words and I love visual art so this free workshop that challenges you to create 12 scrapbooking layouts based on word prompts seems like a fun collision of these two words.

I dance free

In so many ways, you loved me

Just as I am not as I should be

And as your child, you take hold of me

I see just why I fall in love with you

The purest love I've ever know

Was that you chose to give and die

And the blood that poured from your open hand

All so I could fall in love with you

I've got worship you my God

I can't contain the way I feel

I dance free

Before you Lord

For it's you

That I adore

Adore by the Parachute Band
