Kirkus Review:

A beautifully written and provocative account of one woman’s spiritual journey.

“Baker writes with a deeply felt spirituality, her prose, often, elegantly taking on the form of prayer:

“I continue to write so that I can better know what I feel and think about a matter. As a form of communication, it resembles prayer—reaching deep into my psyche and speaking to a subconscious part of my soul.”

She artfully braids revealing, confessional memoir with thought-provoking reflections on the nature of her spirituality, which dwells in the convergence of mystical Judaism and Christianity.

Her search for faith is a rigorously intellectual one, conducted through the meticulous study of not only the Bible, but also philosophy and theology. Still her remembrance never devolved into arid, scholarly study. Her recollection is still powerfully moving and told with courage and self- effacing humor. With great nuance, Baker describes the profound consolation that she found in Christ as a Jewish woman, and in the process, she makes a valuable contribution to a deeper understanding of the Judeo-Christian tradition.”
