Krista's Reviews > Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others

I found this book to be incredibly enlightening. I don't agree with everything the author writes, but I find her goal honorable because for the most part her entire narrative is based around this precept: "to find the bridge between my faith and the faith of other people so that those of us who draw water from wells on different sides of the river can still get together from time to time making the whole area safer for our children." (part 1 of 8, 47 minutes) As a teacher and librarian in a middle school that includes students from 47 different countries, I value this global perspective as I look on these children through the filter of their culture, trying to bridge any gap they may have that would impede their education. Any help I can get to see better into their world is welcome. My favorite quote comes near the end: "The unity of the Creator is expressed in the diversity of the creation." (part 7 of 8, 32 minutes). What a beautiful philosophy and one to which I personally prescribe: UNITY!! And the beauty of diversity. To anyone who wants to grow spiritually, I heartily recommend this book.
