Summary: Wonderfully Insightful
Comment: I loved this book. I read it and re-read it and now have highlights and notes all over it. I originally bought this book to gain insight into Jewish thought ( my sister-in-law and her family are Jewish). What a treat! I bought copies and gave her and her mother one. I also gave copies out to some of my friends from various Christian denominations. As a Christain, I could see where the church received many traditions, such as keeping Sacred time, liturgy, and even a couple of stories that Jesus tells in the Gospels. How wonderful that something I bought to help me understand Judaism, gave understanding to my own faith walk.

Summary: This book lead to my conversion to Judaism!
Comment: Kushner made me want to be a Jew so badly. I was left with a feeling of awe for the Jewish world that I was never exposed to as a young child. Jews will feel proud when they read this wonderful book of basic understanding of the beautiful world of Judaism. If you were born a Jew, this book will recharge you spiritually. This book was the main motivator in my conversion to Judaism, as was the warm support and teachings of my wonderful Rabbi(R. Eitan Weiner-Kaplow).

Summary: For a certain audience ...Great
Comment: This book is written for "the person who grew up Jewish but never learned what it was about, and for the person who never grew up with a Jewish identity but now has a serious interest in Judaism". So, with that it mind and that the Rabbi's sect is conservative, this book is an excellent encapsulation of Jewish being and thought. Otherwise, I would consider the book a bit light and its Jewish/Christian dialogue section a bit too offensive.
Why does one group have to be so defensive and deny the other groups beliefs in... whatever? The Rabbi's remarks in this section are very UNjewish!!! Considering since both the Jewish and Christian sects are morally based, and if I am truly considering conversion, aren't I not just a "Christian without Christ"? Both religions need to stress their common beliefs than their differences for true Peace on Earth. That is one thing I've always heard in synagogue. The author's stance on this is suprising since his first book was so inclusive. Again this is my only negative comment on his book.
