Not Because It Is The ‘Greatest on Earth,’ But Because It’s Mine

Last updated on: May 21, 2013 at 9:45 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I’m not a flag-waving American. I don’t think that my country is the ‘greatest country in the world,’ and I cringe at phrases like “God Bless the USA,” simply because if I’m going to ask God’s blessing on people, it seems a pretty small vision of God’s kingdom to ask that blessing only upon the land that happened to issue my passport. Still, I’ll admit to being pretty fond of my blue and gold US passport, and even to having... Read more

The Worst Hard Time

Last updated on: May 20, 2013 at 9:45 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I’m nearly finished with Timothy Egan’s book The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the American Dust Bowl, and I highly recommend it, especially as it looks, increasingly, as if the Dust Bowl may be happening once again. (See this New York Times article–top emailed today.) As with In the Heart of the Sea, I must confess that part of the pleasure of stories like this are the sense of relief that what is happening in... Read more

Stories, Not Pictures: Because, sorry, Dove, ‘Real’ Beauty Can’t Be Captured by a Camera

Last updated on: May 16, 2013 at 7:30 am By Rachel Marie Stone

When I saw this cool post in the UK-based newspaper Mail Online–“Mother Shuns Disney Princess Ideal and Dresses Daughter Up as Five REAL Heroines from History” I immediately tweeted it and shared on Facebook, gushing, “this is fantastic!’ It is pretty cool, these lovely black-and-white portraits replicating signature portraits of notable women, and the current love for all things retro-fabulous is probably at least partially responsible for why the post has gone viral. (That, and the fact that little five-year-old... Read more

Eat With Joy on ‘Inside Out’

Last updated on: May 14, 2013 at 7:31 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Talking to Martha Manikas-Foster at Family Life radio is always, always a pleasure. (We’ve talked before about boys and guns and the new domesticity). Recently Martha interviewed me about my book. Below is some of what she wrote about it, and you can listen to our conversation here. Toward the end of her new book Eat With Joy, our guest on Inside Out–author Rachel Marie Stone–assures us that when it comes what she calls “joyful eating,” it’s best to accept... Read more

Eat With Joy And Justice

Do you know PRISM magazine? You should! It’s published by Evangelicals for Social Action, and the latest issue is all about FOOD JUSTICE. Check it out! And while you’re there I’d like to share that the ESA website has a new review of my book, Eat With Joy. Here’s some of what Nicole Morgan wrote: “As someone who has long been interested in the often volatile relationship humans have with food and the way it impacts how we see ourselves... Read more

How To Have Your Cake and Jesus Too.

Last updated on: May 9, 2013 at 3:05 pm By Rachel Marie Stone

I have a new post up at Relevant, and it’s one that’s dear to me in its concerns, and touches on the heart of what my new book is about. Take a look… It’s been nearly 20 years since Frederica Mathews-Green insisted that Christians dismiss gluttony as a “cute” sin in the pages of Christianity Today. Since then, other voices have perpetuated the idea that we must love and desire God and God alone. Made to Crave, for example, asserts... Read more

Saying Bad Words

Last updated on: May 8, 2013 at 5:53 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I’m very pleased to announce that I have an essay in this upcoming book, which is now available for pre-order through Indiegog0, along with interesting incentives (including, but not limited to, being thanked in the book itself for your support of this project. The book is part of the “I Speak for Myself” series, and I think it’s going to be great! {and my essay, for the curious, is about saying ‘bad’ words, and why that’s not the worst thing... Read more

Wait, Why Is Canning Your Own Jam Suddenly ‘Cool’?

Last updated on: May 7, 2013 at 6:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I have a review of Emily Matchar’s new book Homeward Bound: Why Women Are Embracing the New Domesticity up at Christianity Today. If you’ve ever wondered how and why knitting, canning, and quilting are ‘cool’ again, even–especially?–among urban twentysomethings, you’ll want to check it out. My mother doesn’t knit or sew (much) and her mother didn’t either. My grandmother Charlotte was an editorial assistant in New York City in the 1960s and a self-described feminist; she owned a first-edition copy... Read more
