Quite enjoyable ( )

Reading this delightful book is like having a short, meaningful conversation with the author. Winner writes about some of the Jewish customs she used to observe that she wishes were practiced (in some form) in Christianity. I started reading it last night and wrapped up the last couple of chapters this morning, before I even got up. I'm looking forward to exploring what else Winner has written, to continue to learn from her life and wonderful sense of humor. ( )

A good follow up to Girl Meets God. She continues her themes with more in-depth ideas. ( )

They say that there's no zealot like a convert, but in this case, Lauren Winner's zeal for her new faith comes with self-effacing humor, wistful revelations, and thoughtful observations on the meanings of Jewish practices that have no full equivalent within Christian spirituality. She invites the reader to risk new ways of engaging with God that have centuries of history behind them, building moments of faithfulness into each day. ( )

Very helpful view in our (Christian) Jewish roots. There are some wonderful practices we have let go by the wayside that we could (re)learn from our Jewish sisters and brothers. ( )
