Commentary During Books Girl Meets God

The child of a Jewish father and a lapsed Southern Baptist mother, Lauren F. Winner chose to become an Orthodox Jew. But even as she was observing Sabbath rituals and studying Jewish law, Lauren was increasingly drawn to Christianity. Courageously leaving what she loved, she eventually converted. In Girl Meets God, this appealing woman takes us through a year in her Christian life as she attempts to reconcile both sides of her religious identity.

Here readers will find a new literary voice: a spiritual seeker who is both an unconventional thinker and a devoted Christian. The twists and turns of Winner’s journey make her the perfect guide to exploring true faith in today’s complicated world.

Evaluation Out Of Books Girl Meets God

Possibly the biggest take-away of this book for me was her value of liturgy in worship. I grew up as a fairly devout Catholic (rosary every night, sometimes 2x's/night, etc...) and believed everything that was placed in front of me. However, I can't say that I partook in communion with as much thought and reverence as I ought to have. I can't say that I recited each "Hail Mary" and "Our Father" with sincerity. Each time I dipped my finger in to the holy water and knelt before the altar as I made

This is m first Lauren F. Winner book, and presumably a good one to start with since it is where the author begins in recounting her story. I think one of my Goodreads friends introduced me to this author - in the back of my mind I took note and then this week I ordered one of her books online. A trip to the library yesterday netted two of the same authors books and so I was given the chance to start at the beginning with Girl Meets God. Lauren F. Winner is engaging from the start of her story,



On the whole, I think this book's big problem is that it's a memoir about a spiritual journey, which means it has two very different things to talk about, and both of them get short-changed because she's not a good enough writer to pull it off. The anecdotes about her life and the trajectory of her life feel scattered. She doesn't give me great faith that she could even pull off a straight memoir. Additionally, for someone who is so intellectually oriented, her discussions of religion feel very

"Girl Meets G-d" is definitely difficult to categorize, and if I made a shelf just for it, would call it "Spiritual Autobiography-Chicklit." I enjoyed every minute of it, even when Winner frustrated me. Lauren Winner goes back and forth between her life and journey into observant Judaism and then into Christianity. It felt jarring, going from one to the other, but is definitely a process that I can appreciate. She draws you into her struggle, but at times, pushes you away with her narcissism. I

Winner was the teenage girl who wanted to believe. She wanted to be on fire for something. Child of two faiths, with parents who had fallen away from their own faith traditions, she decides to immerse herself in Judaism, then because she loves study and is seeking a big, flaming, important all-consuming something to believe in, she converts and becomes Orthodox.And she loves Judaism, and the friends she makes in shul and in studies. They are like a loving, challenging, encouraging family. She

This is a memoir of one woman's conversion from Orthodox Judaism to Christianity. The book was totally not what I was expecting and I loved it. I recently read a book by a Women of Faith speaker, and this was just so much more meaty, more meaningful, and more impactful to me. Lauren Winner is an intellectual, a woman who has not just professed her faith, but one who has struggled over it, studied it in depth, and tenaciously hung on. I can't help but admire her, leaving one faith for another in
