My daily bread
Raised to worship the New York Times on Sundays, I found myself going to church and praying instead. I thought a lot about God and flesh and blood -- and didn't tell my friends I was becoming a religious freak.

  • Good Writing

    I didn't find it overwrought or false. I liked it.

    I can relate completely to her small-child sense of wonder, majesty, connectedness.

    I admire her for realizing tenderness what was her friend needed.

    I am curious about her journey, enough to read her book.

    To me, this is good memoir.

    Sounds to me as though she understands the loving and sacrificial side of religion.

    That's a good thing.

    So easy to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
