review 1: This book contained several essays that felt like really good sermons. Several of the essays cover the importance of community as part of a religious experience. For me, a good sermon gives me some new insight that helps guide me forward and this book contained several. I particularly enjoyed Lillian's insights into common everyday interactions like yard signs or not judging people by their appearance. I read it cover to cover for book club but plan to go back and reread the essays one at a time to really digest their messages.
review 2: Lillian Daniel gets frustrated with those who tell 'they are spiritual and not religious' as though church-going-people don't know that you can connect with God in nature. She rightly observes that in church, people have inten... moretionally thought about and pursued God and therefore may have a little more spiritual substance. However this book looks at where we encounter God in the world. Her argument for 'church' or 'religion' is an arguement against hyper-individualism. If we are to grow spiritually, we need others.The stories are funny and Daniel is a great author. This isn't a book exploring the depths of theology though. Progressives and more orthodox believers will appreciate Daniel's writing. less
