GoodRead du Jour: ‘Let My Tebow Go’ in the NYTimes

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

"The virginity, the anti-abortion ad, the praying, the laying on of hands, the Tebowing — a pose in which he drops to one knee in prayer, the imitation of which became a brief Internet sensation — they’re all so many stunts. What appealed to me was his absurdity." ~ Stephen Marche on Tim Tebow in the New York Times 12/18/12. Read more

Tripp Hudgins’ Busted Stuff: The Authority to Do Good

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

Tripp Hudgins is one of my favorite people. Full stop. We met in Chicago a half-dozen years ago or so when I was still the religion columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and someone let me know that Tripp, then a pastor of a Baptist church in Wilmette, Ill., was doing a summer preaching series called “The Gospel According to John Hughes.” How could I NOT love him? We’ve been friends ever since. Well, last year, Tripp followed me to California... Read more

What I Literally Would Have Given My Staff for Christmas (If I Figuratively Still Had One)

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

The misuse of "literally" when the speaker or writer means "figuratively" is right up there with employing "impact" as a verb (when not speaking of a molar or a colon or a rogue meteor striking Earth) instead of "affect," or "over" when one literally means "more than." It's even more grating than the perennial misuse (or mis-type) of "their" instead of "there." Read more

God Was Here

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

"Thinking like that of Gov. Huckabee suggests that we somehow have the power to remove God from our schools and our society. This kind of God is quite small, weak, and impotent — one that is dictated by the mere whims of humanity. This is not the God of whom Matthew spoke." ~ Michael Hidalgo in "God is Here?" at Sojo.net.

Father Jim Martin, SJ: Gun Control is a Pro-Life Issue

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

"I am not a political person. I do not follow political campaigns or the ins and outs of various pieces of legislation as closely as some of my friends do. And I don't know which politicians have supported and opposed stricter gun control laws. But I am a religious person. Many of my political opinions, then, are formed by my religious ideals: for example, a commitment to help the poor and marginalized, a desire for a peaceful world, and a respect for the sanctity of life from natural conception to natural death." ~Father Jim Martin in America Magazine Read more

Get Wonderstruck This Christmas

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

My dear friend Margaret Feinberg has a new book out (i.e. the perfect Christmas gift for the word lovers on your list) called Wonderstruck: Awaken to the Nearness of God. Today Margaret writes about being left “wonderstruck” by a simple act of kindness by one New York City police officer to a homeless man. Shoes as grace. She says in part: Less than a month ago, a New York Times police officer Lawrence DiPrimo left us wonderstruck by an act... Read more
