Worsham (412 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Publisher: Third Lung Press . A palpable and invigorating book, mapping one woman's lifelong efforts to discover her own sexual identity through Christianity and friendship. Kirkus Review Sandra Worsham's humor, clear-eyed honesty stitch this amazing quilt of meaning and experience together in a wonderful way. Jill McCorkle, author of Life after Life and Going Away Shoes The struggle of the gay Christian's complicated effort to reconcile sexuality and faith is often overlooked by church leaders and more secular gays. But it is a complex, and deeply engaging journey. I was deeply moved by Sandra's book, engaged by her voice, her mind, her heart. I think many will find their very human story here in the hands of a wise and compelling woman. --George Hodgman, author of Bettyville Sandra Worsham is the Mary Karr of Milledgeville, Georgia. This time the 'Liars' Club' has extended its boundaries. The personal stakes break the reader's heart as the lies, judgements, and deprivations whirl between Sandra, her family, her friends, her community, and her church. Yet this page-turning memoir of her quest for wholeness isn't mired in despair. Despite the decades that she held her vile secret of homosexuality, she kept loving those who thwarted her coming of age. This page-turner oozes with Worsham's grace and grit. --Amy Lou Jenkins, author Every Natural Fact: Five Seasons of Open-Air Parenting A terrific book of straight talk about a woman discovering her lesbian identity and holding to her faithfulness in God, as she lives in a world that makes those identities difficult to combine. Worsham writes in a way that captures the reader from the beginning page. She inspires us with her unflinching look at the hard task of living the truth, and the courage she shows in the face of loss. --Elizabeth Cox, author of A Question of Mercy and Night Talk Sandra Worsham has written a candid and memorable narrative of her life in Flannery O'Connor's home town of Milledgeville, Georgia: coming out as a lesbian, converting to Catholicism, and finding a life partner. Her struggles with family, church, and self constitute a compelling story that will resonate with many readers, especially those confronting issues of sexual identity and faith. Sarah Gordon, author of Flannery O'Connor: The Obedient Imagination, A Literary Guide to Flannery O'Connor's Georgia, and Distances In Going to Wings, Sandra Worsham combines a southern raconteur's charm and candor with a social anthropologist's objective awareness to tell the story of a woman's second coming-of-age as a lesbian in a deeply conservative southern town. The result is a memoir both engaging and socially significant. --Peter Selgin, author of Drowning Lessons, winner of the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction, and The Inventors, a memoir. Sandra Worsham loves women and she loves Catholicism. The result of loving both is a dramatic struggle well worth following. --Bruce Gentry, Professor of English, Georgia College & State University, Editor of the Flannery O'Connor Review, and author of Flannery O'Connor's Religion of the Grotesque.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. How three words became an instruction manual for life. As a youngster seeking guidance and perspective, musician Charlie Worsham received three words of advice from the legendary Marty Stuart that changed his life: "Follow your heart." This sage philosophy became Worsham's instruction manual for living. Committed to permanent ink on the inside of his left forearm, he reads it whenever he's playing guitar?which, as it turns out, is pretty much all the time. In Follow Your Heart, Worsham shares his unforgettable journey around the world, playing music and living adventures that his 10-year-old Mississippi-kid self would never believe possible. He's held a koala bear in Australia, played for soldiers in Iraq, and shared arena stages with Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, and Taylor Swift in between. He's played crappy bars, national television shows, the Grand Ole Opry, and country music's Mother Church, the Ryman Auditorium. He's met heroes who have become friends and collaborators. He's cursed his luck and shouted hallelujahs. Through it all, Charlie Worsham has followed his heart. Paying homage to a philosophy kindly shared and the pursuit of a life fully lived, Follow Your Heart is the story of a man with a guitar, a tattoo, and a passion for his journey no matter where it takes him.…
