Something Other than God

The author's writing wasn't the strongest and her narrative could be self-congratulatory at times, but I stuck with the story for 175 pages hoping for an interesting discussion of faith and self-discovery. I finally had to give up when she put off calling an ambulance for a potentially life threatening condition so that she could register for adult Bible study classes. My eyes couldn't roll hard enough.

Jennifer grew up an atheist, I grew up in a deeply religious family. We went to the same summer camp as kids, and her experience could not have been more different than mine, coming as we did from vastly different backgrounds on God. But I loved reading about her skeptical searching to determine if in fact God did exist, and appreciated her thoughtful approach to the issue yet also her willingness to listen and feel and trust her feelings. An interesting book for everyone, whatever your perspective on God.
