review 1: I really enjoyed this book a lot. This is one I picked for my book club and can't wait to discuss it. This is a story about 4 women from very different walks of life meet up at a Spiritual center where they will take classes together two times a month on Saturday. They become friends and help each other on their journeys. There is a website to follow along if you want to take the journey with them, as it talks about some different spiritual disciplines, or you can just read it as a piece of fiction and enjoy the book without going deeper. You will find a little bit of yourself in possibly all 4 women. I am for sure a mix of two of them.
review 2: I would have never picked this book up if I hadn't heard the author speak at the Festival of Faith and Writing. The ... morepremise - a novel about spiritual direction, more or less - sounded hokey and heavy handed and hopelessly middlebrow. But I heard SGB speak and was taken by her wisdom and charisma. So, the book. I bought it right then and there, got it signed, and within 24 hours of getting home from the Festival one of the cats threw up on it. (How many people can say their cat threw up on Sharon Garlough Brown's Sensible Shoes? Har har.). Wise, compelling, utterly endearing. The right book at the right time for me. I would definitely use this with groups at church, too... And I've already booked SGB for our spring retreat. (I'll keep my cats away from her feet.) less
