RaveChristian Science MonitorComplete with narrative arc and flawed characters who are ever worthy of redemption ... The author counters a literal, religionized view of the chapter. Never forceful or pedantic, she leads readers to draw conclusions of their own, as she points to truths beyond the events depicted.

RaveThe Christian Science Monitor... this book proves there’s great promise in a still emerging genre. The writing here is crisp and vivid and unafraid ... Though one or two of the essays feels out of sync with either religion or spirituality, that’s a small quibble. The God Beat is a book to be reckoned with. It asks the reader to take it all in – whatever touches on both the holy and the unholy. It’s an invitation to listen, not to judge. And these days, that feels like a skill to be practiced.
