In On Fire for the Lord Bodie Parkhurst explores her childhood in a conservative Christian home where terrible unspoken secrets shape everyday life. Everybody has one or more—her parents are concealing a guilty past; the church she attends each week is filled with women who “do” and women who “don’t;” and Bodie herself is carefully hiding the fact that, though believing in God and Jesus is a “given in her home,” she cannot believe.
