I love the subtitle of this book, "The Crooked Little Grace-Filled Path of Growing Up." The author describes her year long graduate school experience at Oxford-Brookes University in England and what she learned during that time. The experience was a part of her growing up and was filled with glimpses of God's grace along the way. She describes the cultural difference that she found in /England compared with growing up in Texas as the daughter of well known pastor Max Lucado. Her faith was challenged by encounters with atheist friends, those who were Christians and had lost their faith and other Christian believers. It was a journey where she had to find what she believed in and not just what she was taught growing up. It was a journey where she began to discover and own her Christian faith amidst doubts and questions.
I enjoyed the description of life in Oxford as well as the relationships she made there. It is a beautifully written and thought provoking book.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
