This is the story of a religion-phobic Gen Xer who felt a void because she had become detached from her faith. In fact, she wasn't sure what her faith was or if she actually had any faith at all. Raised as a preacher's kid, she had an astonishingly long list of why religion didn't work for her—until five years after her father's death, she began reading his sermons.
Follow her journey through history and theology as she sometimes seriously—and often irreverently—learns to fill the void with something greater than herself. |
NEW BOOK COMING SPRING 2019!
Yes, Sarah's at it again... Squirreled up in an odd hotel somewhere consuming mounds of sugar while hacking away at her keyboard.
In her new project, Sarah explores a modern spirituality that is alive, vivid, and joyful. It asks the curious questions: What if The Force seems more real to you than Jesus? What if your higher power appears in fluorescent orange with a loud thumping beat? Can Siri help us find something God-ish? Not just for seasoned spiritual seekers, the book is ripe with wisdom for the agnostic, "spiritual but not religious," and the spiritually confused.
The wise sages at Monkfish Book Publishing Company ("the seeker's press") cannot be thanked enough for their support of this spiritually rebellious author.

ZARATHUSTRA FEELS THE FORCERELIGION // READ FULL BLOGThe more I try to set aside my pre-pubescent Jedi theology, the more it seems to follow me. This happened again recently when I picked up the book In Search of Zarathustra: Across Iran and Central Asia to find the world’s first prophet by Paul Kriwaczek, an Austrian dentist turned BBC journalist. Surprisingly going back into history would propel me out into space not once, but twice...
something about maryreligion // READ FULL BLOG"That's the most sacrilegious thing I've ever heard you say, Sarah. Seriously rethink that." said my husband. For context, I had just called him from the parking lot of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC. However, I had referred to it as The Church of Mary Who Got Knocked Up by God. Growing up Protestant, I never understood "the Mary thing." As someone who likes to chat with God directly—do not pass Go, do not collect 200 bucks on the way—I've consistently had a hard time understanding why there would need to be someone in the middle of that connection. Why a middleman? Or middlewoman in this case? Little did I know I was about to get smacked in the noggin again for my contempt prior to investigation...
