BOOK RECOMMENDATION: Stayed up late last night to finish Lauren Winner’s Girl Meets God. I’ll be reviewing it, so I won’t post my whole take on the book here, but suffice it to say that I got a lot out of the book. It’s a very easy read that nonetheless packs in lots of spiritual insight. (Winner was raised Reform Jewish, then became Orthodox Jewish, and is now an evangelical Anglican.) She also anticipates many of the criticisms and reservations I might have had about her story, which is disarming–just as you’re about to put some pointed question to her, she puts it to herself! This is a good book and I suspect it would make a good gift.
