About this ebook
"It's not just that Jesus was a Jew, Jesus still is a Jew. Engaging Jewish practice and tradition is one important way of overcoming the gaps that we sometimes feel exist between Jesus and ourselves."—Lauren Winner
The remarkable author of Girl Meets God shares her quest to enrich faith with daily spiritual disciplines. Winner presents eleven Jewish spiritual practices that can transform the way Christians view the world and God.
After her conversion from Orthodox Judaism to Christianity, Lauren Winner found that her life was indelibly marked by the rich traditions and spiritual practices of Judaism. She set out to discover how she could incorporate some of these practices into her new faith. Whether discussing attentive eating, marking the days while grieving, the community that supports a marriage, candle-lighting, or the differences between the Jewish Sabbath and a Sunday spent at the Mudhouse, her favorite coffee shop, Winner writes with appealing honesty and rare insight.
'A gifted writer who has much to teach us about the deep and indestructible bonds between Judaism and Christianity."— Richard Mouw, President, Fuller Seminary
