Over the past year, four brilliant colleagues read my new book God's Waiting Room and shared their thoughts in Safundi. I got a chance to respond: on writing, aging, and the challenges of difficult people. And I wrote it all on the day I got legally married! Free: www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....
