Framed as a failed love affair with a small church in rural north Georgia, Barbara Brown Taylor's journey from city to country, from full-time ministry to university professor, and urban dweller to part-time farmer is insightful, humorous, and wonderfully human.

After ten years in a big urban church, Taylor arrives in Clarkesville (population 1500) to discover that she is one of the few professional women in town as well as the only woman in charge of a congregation. After five and a half years, she finds herself with "compassion fatigue," and when an offer comes to leave the church for an opening at a local college, Taylor jumps at the chance, despite her reservations. Ultimately, Taylor realizes it is still possible to "keep the faith," although not in a way that jibes with traditional Christianity.

Barbara Brown Taylor was ordained in the Episcopal Church in 1983. A frequent guest preacher and teacher at churches and universities across the country, she was named one of the twelve most effective preachers in the English-speaking world by Baylor University in 1996 and resigned from her parish soon thereafter to accept an endowed chair in religion at Piedmont College. She lives on a working farm in rural Habersham County, Georgia with her husband, Ed.

"A fiercely honest and gracious book about our primary vocation to be human. Here the reader will find an awesome reverence for mystery. This book comes as a refreshing challenge to reconnect with the longings in the depths of the soul. Many will read this book with relief and recognition."

- Alan Jones, Dean of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, and author of Reimagining Christianity

Goldilocks Pillow!! Queen Medium
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1, Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
Phenomenal pillow. I'm sure most people will have that trial by error with latex pillows, But I can assure you this pillow is the perfect balance of soft yet supportive, I'm 6" 1" 185 and I find it to be extremely comfortable, I purchased a queen medium, and upon opening it does have a vanilla/latex like smell(Not overly strong , but will dissipate in a few days if aired out, Ill mention this because im sure most people assume medium is hard, This isn't the case at all with this pillow, Its soft and supportive, I cant explain it any better than , It really is a Goldilocks pillow, Not to soft or firm but just right for my noggin. I'll also add my girlfriend liked it so much when she used it the second night, That I doubt I'll getting it back now,. All and all it's a great pillow and worth the money, Here's to many great night's with this Kiss Dream Queen Medium Latex Pillow!

Bouncy and cool
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
I had been searching for a new pillow for weeks, but nothing was calling to me. So many go flat far too fast, and most cooling pillows are lumpy as can be. This one is perfect. Doesn't go flat, gives me comfortable support, and actually keeps cool longer than the average pillow

Needs to outgas for a day or two and then its great.
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
Needs to outgas for a couple days, ideally outside on a clothes line. Having said that its the first pillow out of a half dozen Ive bought in the last 18 mos that I can sleep on. Sleeping much better and longer now. Latex foam is the only pillow for me. I swear I searched on here a year or so ago and could not find one.

Goldilocks pillow
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
I tried 5 different latex pillows, 2 from this brand. Most had to much loft and were too firm. This brand has one called extra soft that was comfortable but a little too soft. BUT, I could tell the latex was better so I tried this one. It strikes the perfect balance of support and is not too firm. Compared to all the other brands I would call this one soft/medium as all others "medium" were pretty firm. This one is just right!

The perfect pillow that is hypoallergenic. It’s soft but your head doesn’t sink through. Supportive and soft at the same time. Have bought more pillows.
