The action-packed engaging plot gives a backstory to the classic Peter Pan story. There are two more books that aren’t technically part of the trilogy, so I’m hoping to find them at the library next! #corrielovesreading #corriereads".

Also here are a few more quotes I had fun lettering. #calligraphybycorrie #corriereads #corriejusticepost".

For me, this totally connected with the challenging chapter from @michelleamireyes’ almost-released #BecomingAllThings about cultural appropriation. I’m not sure how to “do better” just yet, but I want to. #corriejusticepost #corriereads".

My Grandmother’s Hands is a must-read (scroll to find my previous post in #corriereads) 2. The Traveling Cat chronicles is a beautiful, poignant book 3. Learning history has been critical to my heart for racial justice— @ibramxk lays out the history of racism, Jennings approaches it from a theological view, @jemartisby focuses on the history of racism in the church, and Rothstein looks at housing inequity. 4. Why Are All the Black Kids... Excellent book for parents, educators, or anyone who wants to understand racial development. 5. For the church: solid, deep convicting content and ways to move forward from @esaumccaulley @latashamorrison @lisasharper @saltermcneil @david.w.swanson 6. Maybe You Should... hilarious and human look at therapy by a therapist who also is in therapy 7. Young Adult fiction that helped me get out of my little viewpoint from @angiethomas @jasonreynolds83 @brendankiely and Jennifer Longo 8. @skye.jethani’s devotional with doodles! 9. This is How You Lose the Time War was remarkable fantasy 10. And of course - my fellow pun-loving cucumber field fan @bronwyn_lea / @bronleatweets published her first book!!!! We couldn’t have predicted that side hugs would go from awkward to illegal and she’d have to have a less-than-ideal book launch in a pandemic, but I’m so proud of her and thankful for her wisdom to be shared with the world!".

Tramp for the Lord is a collection of short stories and essays about her life post-WWII after being freed from a Nazi concentration camp as she travels around telling people about Jesus. This time around, I was struck by the theme of forgiveness that comes up in several of her stories and the absolute necessity of forgiving others and asking for forgiveness when you’ve wronged someone else. Maybe that’s why it’s part of the Lord’s Prayer. 🤔".

This was so good to read, but I def have to read and take notes to do it any semblance of justice with a #corriereads post. Even still, I’m recommending it for anyone who might be curious about how the Bible might speak to policing and injustice, or to Black pain and rage, and what to do with those tricky slavery passages in the Old and New Testaments. For those of us who are becoming aware of our “white” theology and are starting to turn our ears to learn from people of color who just happen to value Scripture highly and communicate with brilliance and clarity, this is a must-read. As a preview, you can go back a few posts to see my recommendation for the @holypostpodcast episode where @skye.jethani interviews the author - he does a great explanation of the Bible and policing there! #corriejusticepost".

(46,843 for the year so far.) The only book I haven’t covered so far in a #corriereads post is Jacqueline Winspear’s The Care and Management of Lies. I’ve checked out every Maisie Dobbs book from the library since the beginning, but this is a standalone novel based in the time period of England entering World War I. This is not a book with a happy ending, as it digs deep into the way war impacts the lives of everyday people and the stories (or lies) they choose to share from the front lines or the home front with their loved ones. I didn’t loveeee this book, but it did make me hungry.".

I remember being slightly traumatized by the explicit scenes of abuse and sex; at that time I had no framework for processing any racial issues. Reading this again as an adult was so much richer; although so much is still unfamiliar to me, I could appreciate the resilience, the clinging to life and relationships, and the grace that I found in Celie and Nettie’s stories. Still - I probably wouldn’t let my junior higher read this book right now...!".

It does exactly what it says it will do, and provides a concise overview of justice — what it means, what it is, what it looks like — from the Bible. I can only share nine screenshots but could have shared so many more. #corriereads #corriejusticepost".

I won’t say that you “must” say #blacklivesmatter, but I want you to consider what the good news of Jesus is about. Swipe and read! I kind of wish you could tag photos with hashtags, but since you can’t, I reference #acourageousone and #corriereads. And I give a strong plug for @do_good_shop, but for full disclosure you should know that the founder @fivejbiggs is my BFF and I’m on the board of directors. Special thanks to @andarobinson for chatting with me in the wee hours of the morning and encouraging me to draw some of these thoughts!".

Unlike what high school textbooks say, racial inequity in housing and education is NOT because of “de facto segregation” (segregation by choice or tradition, e.g. Blacks chose not to live with whites) but because of “de jure segregation:” by LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY, created and enforced by police, policy makers, federal agencies, and judges: appraiser manuals saying to only give high ratings if no Blacks lived nearby, pressure from the Federal Housing Administration to keep new developments segregated, providing housing near wartime factories only for whites, zoning school boundary lines during the time of school segregation to force white and black families to move to be closer to their available schools, building freeways over black neighborhoods, zoning for industrial businesses and bars and dumps in/near black neighborhoods, turning a blind eye to the domestic terrorism of whites as they burned crosses, threw bricks, shot up, and bombed homes of Blacks who had dared to move into a white neighborhood... the 300+ pages meticulously researched by Richard Rothstein do not hold back the ugly reality of our nation’s efforts to oppress the opportunities of Blacks. Rothstein clearly connects the dots to show how this directly affects our wealth gap; whites who were able to purchase homes for $8,000 — $75,000 in today’s dollars which shows what a steal they were — sell today for $350,000. Over three generations, these families have gained more than $200,000 in wealth. Blacks in similar situations who were barred from owning homes, barred from living in public housing that was closer to places of employment, had to pay rent and commute farther. Living close to industrial pollutants = higher healthcare costs. Those who were able to try to buy homes got cheated with unfair contracts and exorbitant interest rates. In the cases when courts ruled in favor of Blacks, it’s true that “justice delayed was justice denied.” By the time a judgment was rendered, factories had closed, whites were already moving, or housing costs were unaffordable. Another must-read. Let’s do better.".
