This week, New York Times bestselling author Sue Monk Kidd joins host Jason Jefferies to talk about her new novel The Book of Longings, which is published by our friends at Viking.  Topics of conversation include writing about Jesus from a novelist's perspective (as opposed to a religious one), the importance of women in religious scriptures and the texts of ancient philosophers, arranged marriages, pandemics 200 years ago versus pandemics today, and much more.  Signed copies of The Book of Longings are available here with FREE SHIPPING (while supplies last).  Sue Monk Kidd will be joining Jason Jefferies again for part three of The Book of Longings Book Club.  More information about The Book of Longings Book Club can be found here.
