Description
"Like most of us, Lauren Winner wants something to believe in. The child of a Reform Jewish father and a lapsed Southern Baptist mother, she chose to become an Orthodox Jew. But as she faithfully observes the Sabbath rituals and studies Jewish laws, she finds herself increasingly drawn to Christianity. So, taking a courageous step, she leaves behind what she loves, and converts. Now the even harder part: How does one reinvent a religious self? How does someone embrace the new without abandoning the old? How does a convert become spiritually whole?". "In Girl Meets God this appealing woman takes us through a year in her young Christian life. Despite her conversion, Winner finds that her world is still shaped by her Jewish experiences. Attempting to reconcile the two sides of her religious identity, she applies the lessons of Judaism to the teachings of the New Testament, hosts a Christian seder, and struggles to fit her Orthodox friends into her new life. Ultimately she learns that religion takes practice and that belief is an ongoing challenge."--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
Back when Mississippi was dry, Ole Miss students and any other Oxford residents who wanted a drink would drive to Memphis, just across the state line, stock up on beer and whiskey, and haul it back in the trunks of their cars.
