Review:
Sarahbeth was raised Jewish all her life…
albeit not strictly Jewish. She had experiences
in her young life which made her want to avoid
Christians. She held little regard for them.
However, she attended public schools so was
exposed to many Christian attitudes and
traditions.
She decided at seventeen she would become a
Jewish Rabbi and was determined to do so even
into college. During her college years she had
experiences which led her to question her Jewish
faith.
This is a works of Sarahbeth and her testimony and
musings of her life in High School and College
that led to the biggest change in her life ever.
She ends her story at her life at the present time.
The questions and challenges she has experienced
can be an inspiration to others. It can also cause
Christians to question, “Am I truly a Christian?”
“Do I strive to live my life as Christ did His?”
“Through my words and actions, do I strive to lead
others to Christ or do I cause them to turn away?”
I found her memoir interesting and perhaps it is
because I truly find others lives and experiences
memorable. I truly care about my fellow being.
Either way, many of us will benefit fro reading this
book.
I was given this book by the author for an honest
review, of which I have given.
Book Description from Amazon:
Growing up Jewish in a conservative Catholic town, Sarahbeth Caplin fought to create a genuine Jewish identity. But as she tried to observe Jewish rituals, and even considered a call to become a Rabbi, she felt increasingly drawn to Jesus. Confessions of a Prodigal Daughter is a story about the struggle to reconcile two seemingly contradictory sides of yourself. It’s a story about leaving what is comfortable and familiar, sacrificing some relationships in the process, in order to find one’s true purpose.
