#130. Book Club Wrap Up: The Enchanted April

Rachel leads Sarah, Erin, and Bri in a recap discussion of the latest Lutheran Ladies’ Book Club selection: Elizabeth von Arnim’s The Enchanted April.

How does a woman who feels "miserable" and is absolutely longing "for something else" find renewal and refreshment? How do seemingly impetuous leaps of faith drive both the stories we read and the lives we live? What can we learn theologically from a book that, on the surface, seems hostile to Christian religion?

At the end of the episode, the Ladies announce their next book club read—and for once, Rachel has absolutely nothing to do with the selection. What will it be? Listen to the end to find out!
