I was ordained as an Interfaith Minister in 1984. When I discovered "The Faith Club" when it was first published a few years ago, I was deeply moved by the spirituality, courage and openness of these three women. Have you considered starting a faith club yourself?

I did not care for this book. It did not promote serious discussion of the differences and similarities in the faiths. It focused more on the non-traditional aspects of the muslim and jewish woman's beliefs, and the devout nature of the christian woman. This story could have been told in a better fashion if the women all had the same level of conviction in their beliefs.

    Thought provoking book on living and learning about religion of all faiths. Each religion has same teachings, the same values and same convictions....yet we diffrentiate ourselves from each other....:)
