I finished Jesus Land last night and put off blogging about it because I wasn’t sure what to say, exactly. I’m still not sure of what to say so let’s go with a list. (Good blogging rule, if in doubt just make a list!)
People who should not read Jesus Land
*If you have a history of abuse or neglect and are triggered by stories of such, do not read this book.
*If you are an ANTI ORGANIZED RELIGION FANATIC, do not read this book.

So, if you are none of the above, would you recommend it as a compelling memoir?
Yep
hmmm, looks interesting…wonder if the library has it…we definately had that camper at one point..
Ours was a library copy, Lee. I think a lot of people in the 70’s had that camper, I didn’t but a lot of my friends’ families had them.
