In the church world we hear a lot about “Big Ideas.” The “Big Idea” of “Picking Dandelions” is transformation and the need for intentional ongoing change in the Christian Life. I read “Picking Dandelions” and thought, “it’s nice to know I’m not alone.” Growing up in the church faith was something that I always had, it wasn’t a dramatic conversion experience, and there were times when I felt I had missed out because of that.

I loved this about her story because I can so relate. She sees her faith as a simple gift she offers just as children might offer their mothers a simple dandelion picked from the yard. Sarah’s faith journey is a simple one, one that brought her to the metaphor of dandelions.

She hopes that her story, flaws and all, will attract the attention of someone who isn’t looking for a Christian memoir, but maybe for a story of spirituality. What would cause someone to sit down and write a book about their faith journey knowing full well revealing their flaws to the world would be part of it? Sarah wants people to know that their story of faith is important no matter how simple it may seem. So, instead, you get my interreview – little bit review, little bit interview, and hopefully little bit story.įor those who haven’t read the book, Sarah is quite open about her character flaws and the roller coaster ride she’s been on trying to tackle them. Since I’m all about stories, I didn’t want to do a typical question/answer interview format here on the blog.

A month or so ago I jumped at the opportunity to host Sarah Cunningham on her blog tour for “Picking Dandelions.” Yesterday, I sat down with Sarah via Skype and chatted about the book with a little life and ministry sprinkled on top for good measure.
