I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening)

Do you feel, as I do, deeply frustrated with the lack of civil talk in our democracy? Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth A. Silvers felt the same way. Both Sarah and Beth are trained as lawyers, and both are now focusing their energies on raising their young children, and they remind us that they are not experts but simply citizens who love discussing issues, but they have come together to create a podcast where important issues in American can be talked about in a civil fashion. Sarah comes from the left, and Beth comes from the right, and this is their attempt to share what they have learned from taking on this very important task.

I feel like I have been looking for this book for several years now. I want everyone to read it (or listen to it, as that's what I did) but I'm not sure it will hit everyone as hard as it did me. Beth and Sarah are women; would men find this book as helpful as I did? And both Beth and Sarah are Christians; again I wonder if that would put some off the book.

But I enjoyed it so much that I looked to see if I could find a text of the book available at the library (no) or at Amazon (yes, and it was part of Amazon Prime—hurray!) I think I will read it again, in print this time, and this time I will take notes, and I will try some of the strategies the two share.
