I started this book on a plane trip across country. It drew me in and I just could not put it down. I don't know what compelled me to buy it, but it is a wonderful memoir of one person's faith journey and the faith journey of people around her. It touches on the good, the bad, and the ugly of church institution, but left me with the conviction that Christian faith is hollow, if we don't truly practice what is taught by Christ, in everyday life.
