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. 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 one embrace the new without abandoning the old? How does a convert become spiritually whole. In GIRL MEETS GOD, this appealingly honest young woman takes us through a year in her search for a religious identity. Despite her conversion, she finds that her world is still shaped by her Jewish experiences. Even as she rejoices in the holy days of the Christian calendar, she mourns the Jewish rituals she still holds dear. Attempting to reconcile the two sides of her religious self, Winner 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 religious life. Ultimately she learns that faith takes practice and belief is an ongoing challenge. Like Anne Lamott's, Winner's journey to Christendom is bumpy, but it is the rocky path itself that makes her a perfect guide to exploring spirituality in today's complicated world. Her engaging approach to religion in the twenty-first century is illuminating, thought-provoking, and most certainly controversial.… (més)

Winner’s first book is a very interesting collection. It’s a combination of memoir and theological essays reflecting on her growing up and conversion from Reform to Orthodox Judaism in the southern United States, and then to her study abroad in England where she was baptized as a Christian and how this affected her and her relations and friends. As a historian and scholar she has studied and drunk deeply from the spiritual wisdom of both religions. ( )

Some of the chapters made for great individual essays. Others were messy and incoherent. And the overall thesis of the book--meeting God as a Jew, falling in love with Jesus, and becoming a Christian--didn't quite have the narrative coherence I believe it needed. That said, Winner has good insights on faith and the Bible, and her chapter on Ruth was very good. ( )
  DrFuriosa | Dec 4, 2020 |
Flows like an in-depth personal conversation. Honest and intelligent, but left feeling a bit like Winner values religious tradition and human intellect slightly more than God's word. I think it's just that at the writing of this book, that like the rest of us, she's simply still learning to fully trust and listen to God. ( )

A doctoral student’s intriguing and humorous spiritual journey as she stumbles her way towards faith, first through Orthodox Judaism and then her later conversion to Christianity.
  mcmlsbookbutler | Feb 22, 2017 |
Year in the life of well-educated and respected essayist when she converts from Orthodox Jewish to Christianity, attempts to reconcile both sides to her religious identity, and explores true faith in today's world. ( )
