Anne Boleyn

"This is no mere religious self-help book or gimmicky “God wants you to be slim” dietary plan. What Martha Tartarnic has written is better, deeper, and wiser. She has placed our cultural anxieties about food and bodies into a larger theological vision, encouraging us to find the redemptive joys of sharing, nourishment, and community, rather than participating in “a culture that treats food as the enemy rather than a gift.” Savor this book!"

Thomas G. Long, Bandy Professor Emeritus of Preaching

The Living Diet fed me on many levels. This book is a compelling work of eco-feminist prophecy, evoking a Loving Creator God for whom the healing of eating disorders (of all kinds) is central to the work of liberation. At the end, I was at once totally satisfied and hungry for more. Tatarnic's is a powerful of vision of what God, food, and love all mean.

A provocative exploration of the life of Anne Boleyn and our fascination with her, examining her influence on the reformation and relevance for a new generation.

In a story that has intrigued readers for generations, this Queen of England has been portrayed through many of the archetypes we typically use for discussing women, including as a power-hungry manipulator and a femme fatale. A closer examination of her ascent to power and her reign reveals instead a complex woman who was pursued and then killed by the King, and yet claimed what power she could to exert enormous influence and vision on the English Reformation, and therefore on the political and religious landscape of Europe, as a result. In this unique exploration of her life through the lens of a female priest serving in the church Anne Boleyn was instrumental in shaping, readers will see a woman whose choices and personality continue to stimulate conversation around the place of women in history and what our fascination with Anne has to say to us.
