Gaslighting for God: A Satirical Guide to Save Yourself from Spiritual Narcissists by Becky Garrison 

In the nearly two years I’ve been doing VoiceOver work, mostly narrating audiobooks, I’ve learned to try to be more choosy with my projects. Research the authors, make sure writing and subject matter are relatable. This book spoke to me, particularly when it came to the snarky and satirical tone. The author writes the way I speak, and I speak fluent snark.

Pacific Northwest Wine and Spirits writer Becky Garrison draws on her real life experiences and time as a religious satirist to pen this latest book. It’s funny, it’s snarky, it’s oh so timely, and I truly enjoyed being the voice of this insightful book. 

For the Spirit

As a wine and spirits educator and communicator, I very much appreciated, and could really relate to, the chapter on finding community, in all places, in sharing a glass of wine, a tasting room, or a festival.

After all, I remember turning to my husband in a Seattle elevator during my first Society of Wine Educators conference I attended in 2014 and saying, “These are my people. These people who were all geeking out over a bottle of Newton unfiltered cabernet at our dinner table? My people.”

For the Soul

This book does take on a somewhat serious topic in dealing with trauma, particularly if one is leaving a high control environment. Yet, she also addresses how to deal with the different kind of narcissists we all encounter in our lives; she does it in a light, funny way which I found refreshing.

I also found it timely as hell – ironic, since we all know (if you’ve listened to Glass in Session®) I’ll be spending eternity there.

So while I was the voice and producer of this book, throughout the read I found myself really relating to a lot of the material – even outside of the wine, whiskey and cider references.

Here is the link to the Audible version, and I do hope you will enjoy the book or pass it on to someone who could benefit from it.
