The Exact Place — endorsement #1 (Wesley Hill)

Endorsements for Margie's memoir are starting to come in, and we're delighted (and grateful) for the kind and generous words that are being offered. Here's the first one...

Wesley Hill is the author of Washed and Waiting: reflections on Christian faithfulness and homosexuality (published by Zondervan). Here is what Wes has to say about The Exact Place by Margie Haack:

Margie Haack's memoir of growing up and coming to faith is, much like its author herself, an inviting, hospitable book. Artful, unpretentious, humorously self-disclosing, The Exact Place tells of life in rural Minnesota with perception and insight that recall Leif Enger or Patricia Hampl. I've spent many good hours around Margie and her husband's open table, but here is a different sort of hospitality, one no less welcoming for being in print: an open life, displayed in stories that are full of sharp wit and graceful intelligence.



Thanks Wes!
