“4 stars! I enjoyed this one! I have often said if I weren’t a Christian, I’d probably be a Buddhist! I enjoyed this book and I definitely found commonality with the author as she navigated both her tradition, the people around her, sacred texts and her own mind … in seeking God and faithful action pertaining to all these factors of faith.”
