I loved this book!! I am an Episcopalian like Suzanne and we have a tradition of being very open to asking questions and having doubts at time about our faith. This book really complimented my journey of discovery to find out what I truly believe. I never have really thought about how much of a minority and "out of the club" other faith traditions must feel like in this country and those revelations from a Jewish and Muslim perspective were enlightening. Our book club at my church has now picked it for our church to read and I highly recommend it to help start discussions on matters of personal faith journeys.

I thought the book was well written and original. I liked how all three authors were able to communicate their differences and ask questions about eachothers faith without controversary. Definately a conversation book worth discussing.

For the most part, I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was wonderful that 3 different women decided to come together to exchange ideas openly for the great purpose of educating their children. I recommend this book to anyone because you will learn something about another religion. My only complaint about the book was Suzanne's portrayal of the Catholic Church. I felt that there was no one in the book to say âhey now, wait a minuteâ¦that's not really how it is!â when she put down the Catholic faith that she fell away from. Aside from that, I thought the book was excellent!

Fabulous book. These women are very honest about their fears, stereotypes, doubts and prejudices. I got a wonderful and personal perspective on all 3 religions.

Great book. These authors are so honest with one another. There is no sugar coating here. They handle the tough topics. The confront one another yet more importantly grow clearer in their own faith journey through their encounter. They learn respect for the faith of others by asking the tough questions. Well done.
