Tonight, I\u2019m giving a talk on my book Arriving at Amen: Seven Catholic Prayers that Even I Can Answer<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>on\u00a0\u201cLessons in Prayer from an Atheist Convert\u201d at Portsmouth Abbey in Rhode Island. \u00a0The full logistical details are here<\/a>, and the event description is:<\/p>\n

Leah Libresco, a popular atheist blogger whose conversion to Catholicism became a topic of national conversation, will speak to the public at Portsmouth Abbey on learning how to pray (badly). Author of the new book, Arriving at Amen, Leah will explain how Zeno\u2019s paradox, Narnia, and people mummified in honey helped her understand prayer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The next day, I get to speak to the students at Portsmouth Abbey School, and (what I\u2019m most looking forward to) have small group conversations with students who read my book for their Confirmation class.<\/p>\n

And that seems as good a reason as any to mention that if your school, parish, or even a book group is considering reading\u00a0Arriving at Amen<\/em><\/a>, I really like getting to do author chats! If it\u2019s too logistically complicated for me to come visit, I\u2019ve already skyped with one Catholic summer class (the kids took turns sitting in front of the skype window to ask questions).<\/p>\n

So just email me (my first name+last name at gmail.com) if you might like to set up an in person or virtual visit for a group.<\/p>\n

And in the meantime, it\u2019s about time I start\u00a0Laurus<\/em><\/a> for\u00a0my<\/em>\u00a0upcoming bookclub!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
