The book is call "The Traveler's Gift" by Andy Andrews. The book bills itself as "Seven Decisions the Determine Personal Success" The writer is a Christian writer intersperses the book with excerpts and quotes from the Bible.
She is livid. She had highlighted the actual biblical quotes and is furious that the teacher had a debate about faith in class, and ended up taking sides in the debate over so-called Christian Values (she supported them).
Even though she is not enamored with English classes in general, she does not want to be in a Bible Study class, when she is supposed to be in an English Class.
She would have loved my 11th grade English teacher. We spent three weeks discussing the lyrics to "Hotel California"
