Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 42

Today's Daily 5:

  1. Some mornings I wake up and think of friends living in more tropical climates.  On those mornings, as I slide my feet into shoes or slippers, I think about how grateful I am to not have to check my footwear for spiders, scorpions or other unfortunate bugs before putting it on.  Today was one of those mornings
  2. The crunchy sound leaves make when you stomp them
  3. Reading a novel I'm quite enjoying
  4. the freedom an iphone offers
  5. an interesting evening with a new friend

"If..." Take 6

"If you were to recommend only one book to a friend to help them find spirituality, which would it be?"
(from "If...Questions for the Soul" by Evelyn McFarlane & James Saywell)

Now that is a question that is hard to answer, mostly because the book would vary greatly, depending on the person.

That said, the book that came immediately to mind is Lauren Winner's "Girl Meets God."  Winner talks about her own journey of faith, from a relatively secular home, through Judaism, and into Christianity.  I loved her story, and recommend it highly.  Mostly I loved that she showcased the questions, the challenges, and the journey, not just the answers and destinations.

What about all of you? What book would you recommend?
