Picking Dandelions Blog Tour

Sarah Cunningham's new book, Picking Dandelions: A Search for Eden Among Life's Weeds, arrived in bookstores just a few weeks ago. I received my copy at about the same time and I have enjoyed reading her memoir about growing up as a PK (preacher's kid) in rural Michigan. Sarah is a young lady. When I think about memoirs I tend to think that it is someone's biography reflecting on all of the things the writer experienced during their long life. Picking Dandelions covers about the first third of Sarah's life. She's got at least a couple more memoirs to go.

Sarah is a wonderful writer who will take you on her journey from inner-city Pittsburgh to a one flashing traffic light town in Michigan to Ground Zero a few days after 9/11. Throughout her journey she learns that a Christ-following person is a changing person. And she's not afraid to tell you how she's changed. In Sarah's words, there's the "conversion within a conversion." The realization that walking on the heels of Jesus leads us through places where change is non-negotiable.

Sarah has also written Dear Church and was a contributor to unChristian. You can find out more about this amazing young author at www.SarahCunningham.org.
