Greg Herren Reads:

Murder In The Garden District

@ Outwrite

A leading candidate for the upcoming senatorial race and a scion of a Louisiana political dynasty is shot to death in his Garden District mansion, and the prime suspect is his much younger second wife with a checkered past. Detective Chanse MacLeod enters a world where nothing is as it seems, and uncovers the dark secrets of the state's first family-secrets someone is willing to kill to keep.

Joshua Lesser Reading 

Torah Queeries

@ Outwrite

 

In the Jewish tradition, reading of the Torah follows a calendar cycle, with a specific portion assigned each week. These weekly portions, read aloud in synagogues around the world, have been subject to interpretation and commentary for centuries. Following on this ancient tradition, Torah Queeries brings together some of the world’s leading rabbis, scholars, and writers to interpret the Torah through a "bent lens". With commentaries on the fifty-four weekly Torah portions and six major Jewish holidays, the concise yet substantive writings collected here open up stimulating new insights and highlight previously neglected perspectives.

Benyamin Cohen Reading "My Jesus Year" @ Outwrite

Benyamin Cohen Reads

My Jesus Year

@ Outwrite

About My Jesus Year:

One day a Georgia-born son of an Orthodox rabbi discovers that his
enthusiasm for Judaism is flagging. He observes the Sabbath, he goes to
synagogue, and he even flies to New York on weekends for a series of
"speed dates" with nice, eligible Jewish girls. But, something is
missing. Looking out of his window and across the street at one of the
hundreds of churches in Atlanta, he asks, "What would it be like to be
a Christian?"

So begins Benyamin Cohen's hilarious journey that is My Jesus Year—part
memoir, part spiritual quest, and part anthropologist's mission. Among
Cohen's many adventures (and misadventures), he finds himself in some
rather unlikely places: jumping into the mosh-pit at a Christian rock
concert, seeing his face projected on the giant JumboTron of an
African-American megachurch, visiting a potential convert with two
young Mormon missionaries, attending a Christian "professional
wrestling" match, and waking up early for a sunrise Easter service on
top of Stone Mountain

Forgiving Troy

@ Outwrite

 

 Thom Bierdz is currently on a recurring role on CBS' The Young and the Restless—with seven million daily viewers—reprising his role from twenty years ago. He is a fan favorite and his book opens all of the doors and windows into his personal life of tragedy and redemption, the murder of his mother, familial mental illness, and Thom's now openly gay and proud lifestyle. Thom has forgiven his schizophrenic brother, Troy, who will spend the rest of his life in a Wisconsin state prison.
