In this memoir Lauren Winner tells of her spiritual journey from Reformed Jew to Orthodox Jew and then to Christian. She was raised in Virginia by a Jewish father and a backslidden Baptist mother. Her personality drew her to convert to Orthodox Judiasm in college. Her accounts of how she was treated by some Orthodox Jews and her boyfriend's family (Levi tribe) was fascinating. She related her slow conversion to Christianity while keeping a very respectful tone towards her Jewish friends and family. Throughout the book she challenges other Christians to rethink their views of Judiasm and the Old Testament.
