judaism

Mudhouse is the second book of Lauren Winner's that I have read, and I was not disappointed. Reading her books is like sitting down with a friend over coffee and discussing life. I share alot with her, growing up Jewish and converting to Christianity as an adult. Lauren's heart felt spiritual travels have left her a deep knowledge and understanding of her roots and how they play a part in her christian life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a deeper understanding of judiasm, and wants to increase their spiritial knowledge of the judeo-christian life we live in in the USA. As a convert, I see christianity as a deepening of my faith.

Lauren F. Winner is truly a winner both as a writer and as a person. Having been brought up in the faith of the christ [...] he soon realized the error of his ways and had an epiphany in which he came to see that only trhough accepting Jesus as his savior could he be truly saved. He is a remarkable writer and scholar and should be read by all.

I admit it: I was delighted when a friend gave me this book, because it looked short and sweet. It's small enough to fit in your purse! But, despite its small size, this book is packed with wonderful information, a million suggestions about how to incorporate spiritual practices into your life, all accompanied by hysterical stories about the author trying to live out these practices herself. So don't be decived by the small size. This book is bursting with information and charm.
