Girl Meets God by Lauren Winner


I finished Girl Meets God by Lauren Winner last weekend. It was a good book, but it wasn't my favorite out of her 3 books. This is her first book she wrote about her faith story from Orthodox Judaism to Christianity. One of the things that I didn't like is because I am very linear in my thinking, and she tended to jump around when telling the story of her life. I sometimes found it hard to follow.

Some great things that I liked about the book is that she speaks of her journey to God, as just that a journey, God in search of her. She says she doesn't have a specific day that she was saved. Which I think is a lot of our stories; either we were really young and don't remember a moment or it was just that a copulation of moments to a place where we believed. She is a great writer and I love her work. Check out my other reviews of her other 2 books, Mudhouse Sabbath & Real Sex.
