Fierce: Women of the Bible and Their Stories of Violence, Mercy, Bravery, Wisdom, Sex, and Salvation by Alice Connor

5.0

This beautiful, funny, and moving collection of essays of Biblical womanhood is easily one of my favorite spiritual/religious reads in recent years. Conner's writing is reminiscent of the always inspiriting Anne Lamott, Barbara Taylor Brown, and Lauren Winner and like these powerful writers she brings both intellectual scholarship, relatable experiences, and emotional nuance to difficult and often ignored stories. I'll be recommending this one to friends for a long time to come.
