I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening) by Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers (Copy)
/So….news just dropped! Big news here in the U.S. I’ve never been shy about my politics so let’s just say, I’m buying champagne on my way home today! If things are going to be touchy where you are, might I suggest this book, which I first shared in February of 2019.
The hosts of one of my all time favorite podcasts, Pantsuit Politics, have written their first book! I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening) is just as wonderful as the podcast. Beth and Sarah are known for their ability to have tough discussions about difficult topics and do so without any shouting or insults. In fact, they say that at the beginning of each and every podcast. Their ability to bring nuance to each and every discussion has led to a devoted following and one of the most informative and enjoyable podcasts available today.
I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening) is their guide to having these nuanced conversations in our everyday lives. They provide real life tips and advice on how to talk politics with friends and family of differing political views and opinions. At the end of each chapter, Beth and Sarah provide questions for the reader to help further the conversations that need to happen in real life and provide scriptures that have helped guide them in their own interactions.
You can hear Beth and Sarah in this book. It is true to their personalities and provides that seem level of grace, intelligence, and thoughtfulness that they give us each week in their podcast. If you are looking for a nuanced take on politics and life, I highly recommend picking up this book and checking out their podcast, Pantsuit Politics.
