review 1: This is a remarkable and very literary memoir of Carolyn Weber’s year of study at Oxford; a year in which she went from agnosticism to true faith in Jesus Christ. Throughout the book we listen in to her witty and wise conversations with friends, and professors, believers and non believers. She shares her doubts and struggles and steps to belief. The book is conversational and beautifully written with gems of wisdom, literary allusions, and quotes. Weber demonstrates that the Christian faith is supported by rigorously reasoned truths.
review 2: My daughter loaned the book to me telling me it was such a treat and that it was difficult for her to put down. The book was beautifully written and provided insight to much literature while telling the story of strug... moregling with Christianity. The questions posed regarding faith were insightful and thought provoking. The book was delightful for so many reasons. I felt as if I were being given a gift of pure mountain water to drink at a time when I was dying of thirst. less
