October 3 for 3: the bounty of good work and community edition

What I've been up to lately plus work from other creators and cultivators who are helping us worship God, love people, and enjoy beauty - all arranged in lists of threes.

Hi, I’m Tamara Murphy and this is my newsletter. It’s completely free to access and read, but if you feel so moved to support my work, please consider a paid subscription: $5/month for weekly devotional posts throughout the year or $3/month for personal storytelling posts 1-2 times a month. You can also go way above and beyond by becoming A Sacramental Life Community member at $17/month. Thank you! Seriously, thank you. Support from readers helps me offer spiritual, relational, and creative direction to beyond the scope of this website.


xoxo, Tamara

What I Read August - December [From the Book Pile 2020]
What I Read August - December [From the Book Pile 2020]

You can see all my reading lists since 2006 here.

I discovered two things in fall 2020: my local library offered personal appointments to pick up book requests and my local library was within walking distance from my home. Right up there with the best things that happened to me last year. I’m so grateful for the librarians who are keeping the lights on and our reading lives flourishing.

Three questions as you browse this post:

  1. Which titles grab your attention?

  2. What've YOU been reading lately?

  3. Any suggestions you want to send my way?

  4. Drop me a comment below!
