Winner of Anne Jackson book.

A few weeks ago, Anne Jackson offered up a signed copy of her book, "Mad Church Disease" to readers of Stuff Christians Like. The question of the day was, "What is something you can't confess in church?" There were some tremendous comments. To see them all, click here.

The winning comment was submitted by Tanya. Please email me at theacuffs@yahoo.com with "Jackson winner" in the subject line Tanya.


Thanks for the great comments everyone.

I posted earlier as one of the numerous anonymous'.I woke up this morning and prayed for the people who have posted their confessions and for the people reading them.We are broken and tired. Our masks that serve us so well in church are cracking and falling away. Some of us do not even remember who we are because of the masks. Thank God this is happening.Depressed, lonely, angry, confused. The voices in our head shrieking. Sounds like the valley to me. Valleys tend to be dark, lonely and fertile places. I have to remind myself that mountain tops are nice, but you cannot live there and real growth is not sustained there.I heard someone say once that you are vindicated in the valley.Knowing this does not make things easier. Reading what is going on here reminds me how not alone I am. God Bless all of you
