We both ended up living long-term near where we went to school. Paul, and I left Minnesota for Cedarville College (now Cedarville University) in Ohio. We both left home for a far-away evangelical college-she left Illinois for Northwestern College (now University of Northwestern) in St.

We've both lived significant portions of our lives in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area-I, my first 20 years she, her college years and now. :sigh:Īnyway, we have a lot in common, Addie and me.

But when I did, I loved the name of her blog, How to Talk Evangelical (which reminded me of this book) it has had a place on my list of Favorite Blogs: Christian Faith & Doubt since I debuted this design. Īddie Zierman is another one of those people/online friends/writers that I don't remember exactly when or how I first discovered. Note: This post is part of my occasional series Books That Made a Difference.
