Rosaria Butterfield
By Matt Smethurst
On My Shelf helps you get to know various writers through a behind-the-scences glimpse into their lives as readers.
I corresponded with Rosaria Butterfield, former tenured professor of English at Syracuse University and author of Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert, about what’s currently on her nightstand, what she’s learning about following Jesus, her favorite fiction, and more. Butterfield will lead two workshops, including “You Are What You Read” and “Homosexuality and Christian Faith,” next summer at The Gospel Coalition National Women’s Conference in Orlando.
What’s on your nightstand right now?
The Bible (NASB)
Voices from the Past: Puritan Devotional Readings, Richard Rushing, ed.
The Book of Psalms for Singing, Reformed Presbyterian Church of America

Joni and Ken: A Love Story, Ken and Joni Eareckson Tada

(You can see from the last three titles that my classical conversation home school co-op is in full swing!)
