With two degrees from Georgia Tech, April Love-Fordham (aprillovefordham.com) rose to the executive suite, left the corporate world, earned an MDiv and DMin, and was ordained in the Presbyterian Church (USA). Today she is an Episcopalian and is writing a series called Disorderly Parable Bible Studies, including James in the Suburbs on James (2014) and Dismantling Injustice on the Song of Solomon (2016). She lives with her husband and Great Dane in Atlanta, GA.
"April Love-Fordham's Disorderly Parables Series resonates with the
women's lives in our Bible study group. She stretches us beyond our
comfort zone to prayerfully consider our fellow humankind. . . . We
highly recommend her books for your next study."
--Stephanie Yuicus, St. Catherine's Women's Bible Study Leader
"This installment in Love-Fordham's Disorderly Parables Series is a
winsome account of pilgrimage, framed within an accessible study of
Paul's letter to the Galatians. The book's four sections explore
what it means to follow the way of Jesus, with a chance to stop and
reflect at the end of each section. Try using the photographs for
visual meditation (visio divina). Another plus: the lesson plans,
while intended for group study, work well as personal journaling
prompts, too."
--Sarah Erickson, Director, Lifelong Learning, Columbia Theological
Seminary
"April Love-Fordham's St. Francis and the Christian Life continues
her Disorderly Parable Series in which she has woven together
narrative and biblical exegesis to create a brilliant book on
Christian spiritual formation. . . . The book is replete with
wonderful advice for individual and group spiritual disciplines.
St. Francis and the Christian Life is a must for any Christian who
wants to grow in faith, or enable others so to do."
--Kenneth Swanson, Rector, St. David's Episcopal Church; Adjunct
Professor, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
