Dating Jesus, Susan Campbell, January 2009, cloth, $24.95, 978-0-8070-1066-2

• More Magazine; review in December 2008/January 2009 issue

"In her heart-felt memoir, Dating Jesus, [Campbell] describes growing up in the 1970's in the Church of Christ, where she was taught that holiness is 'entirely masculine' . . . Her writing is striking for the compassion with which she views her younger self, a fledgling believer confined in a cage of man-made rules."
