An Evening W/ Author Anne Jackson Reading/Discussion: Permission To Speak Freely
“What is one thing you feel you can’t say in church?”
Permission to Speak Freely is the unique new project and movement of author Anne Jackson, who is finished with keeping brokenness in the dark. Bringing to light the original intent of God’s sanctuary as a place of help and healing, Anne reveals that through confession, both to God and to others, we can live lives that are whole and healed.
Told with disarming transparency, Anne shares what led to her own addictions and the ensuing lifestyle that left her wounded and withdrawn, but ultimately rescued and redeemed. She includes dramatic stories of others who also learned to abandon their fear, pride, and masks; to identify their hurts; and to find the courage to speak freely."
Anne Jackson will be in town to speak at Evergreen on Sunday, Sep 12th. We’re going to take advantage of that and host a reading/discussion with her centered around her new book. You are invited. Firepit, drinks and hors d’oevres, good discussion… What more could you ask for???

I JUST this evening stumbled on her blog through a non-evergreen friend’s blog and then saw an ad for her book and I thunderbolt I realized that was THIS event. SO glad to see I haven’t missed the event.
