<\/p>\n

Katherine Willis Pershey<\/a>, the (very talented) author of Any Day a Beautiful Change, <\/em>has written a lovely review of my book in the Englewood Review of Books. <\/em>I loved that she began by saying that she\u2019s read most of the locavore\/foodie books, and dreaded that my book might be a sort of \u201cPollan-lite\u201d for Christians, but found herself saying \u201cI have not read this book before.\u201d And one of her favorite parts of the book was one of my favorite parts\u2013a story about Jack and Edie. <\/a><\/p>\n

Alas, her review is not readable online, but you can find subscription information for the (truly excellent)\u00a0Englewood Review of Books<\/em> here.<\/a><\/p>\n

And (shameless plug) if you want to buy my book you can do so at Hearts & Minds <\/em>Books, <\/a>the IVP website<\/a>, or Amazon.com.<\/a><\/p>\n
