Book Update

Don't Chew Jesus! A Collection of Memorable Nun Stories is now at the publishing house, BenBella Books. We thought the book would be coming out this year but it now looks like June 2006. We'll keep you posted.

We've collected about 300 anecdotes, ranging from hilarious to poignant. We've worked hard to capture the memories in a respectful, lighthearted manner. However, being the cheeky people that we are, you'll find lots of tongue-in-cheek throughout the pages. Here's the table of contents:

Chapter 1. Oh Sister, Where Art Thou?
Chapter 2. Don’t Chew Jesus!
Chapter 3. Off to School With Publics You’ll Go!

Chapter 4. Private Parts and Impure Thoughts: Avoiding Occasions of Sin
Chapter 5. Shrouds of Mystery

Chapter 6. Knuckle Cracks and Group Slaps: Sisterly Tough Love <>
Chapter 7. Eyes in the Back of Their Habits
Chapter 8. A Sister By Any Other Name

Chapter 9. A Legacy: Cheeky Girls and Worthless Boys Grow Up
Chapter 10. Sister, Speak Up!

Sorry for the weird spacing - I'm trying to get the hang of this blogging. Watch for more updates!

I just found your website and can't wait for the book!
I spent 12 years in Catholic schools and am sorry I found this too late to share some stories! Well, maybe for Volumn 2!
