On the podcast today is the seventh edition of the \u201cShalom Book Club\u201d where once a month, my friend Cara Meredith joins me to talk about a book. \u00a0Like I said in the first episode of this series this is partly to solve a very real problem I have- I simply can\u2019t work in a book club in my week here in L.A.. This month we read the \u201cLove Warrior\u201d By Glennon Doyle Melton.<\/p>\n

Context:<\/b> LOVE WARRIOR is about infidelity, betrayal and redemption. It\u2019s about how our ideals of femininity and masculinity can make it impossible for a woman and a man to actually know each other. It\u2019s about how to use crisis as a springboard to a truer identity and a better life. It\u2019s about parenting our kids through pain. It\u2019s about friendships that hurt and friendships that heal. It\u2019s about faith that shackles women and faith that liberates women. It\u2019s about how to finally find peace in your own damn skin. It\u2019s about shameless sex, God, food, drugs, porn and tenderness\u2014and how the dirt and the divine are so often inseparable.<\/p>\n
