LWD Book Club ~ What Falls From the Sky

February 1, 2022 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

I’m excited about our LWD Book Club selection for February. I’ve heard this one recommended several times recently and have already started reading it. What Falls From the Sky is the story of a woman who takes an entire year off from the Internet. Intrigued? So am I!

What Falls From the Sky

by Esther Emery

What Falls From the Sky book cover

 

 

Esther Emery was a successful playwright and theater director, wife and mother, and loving it all – until, suddenly, she wasn’t. When a personal and professional crisis of spectacular extent leaves her reeling, Esther is left empty, alone in her marriage, and grasping for identity that does not define itself by busyness and a breakneck pace of life. Something had to be done.

What Falls from the Sky is Esther’s fiercely honest, piercingly poetic account of a year without Internet – 365 days away from the good, the bad, and the ugly of our digital lives – in one woman’s desperate attempt at a reset. Esther faces her addiction to electronica, her illusion of self-importance, and her longing to return to simpler days, but then the unexpected happens. Her experiment in analog is hijacked by a spiritual awakening, and Esther finds herself suddenly, inexplicably drawn to the faith she had rejected for so long.

Ultimately, Esther’s unplugged pilgrimage brings her to a place where she finally finds the peace – and the God who created it – she has been searching for all along.     

What Falls from the Sky offers a path for you to do the same. For all the ways the Internet makes you feel enriched and depleted, genuinely connected and wildly insufficient, What Falls from the Sky reveals a new way to look up from your screens and live with palms wide open in a world brimming with the good gifts of God.

    Interesting read. Hope you’re enjoying it.

    I’m reading the “Red Sparrow” trilogy. Almost done with the second book. I think the author’s name is Jason Matthews.

      Of course I had to go look at your FB profile – ha! Other than blog and nonprofit-related stuff, I’m basically not using FB right now, either. Or at least I’m TRYING not to. 😉
