. The subtitle is "An Unlikely Spiritual Journey", and this book is about his spiritual journey as an adult to both define what his religion means to him and how to live it out in his life. The Dewey Decimal system number for this book is 204 - classified as religious experience, life and practice. That's a great description for this book. David Gregory makes no secret of his difficulties with the divorce of his parents and his alcoholic mother but this largely serves to set the stage for the rest of the book. Mr. Gregory takes the reader along with him as he seeks out various religious leaders of different faiths and experts to help him learn how to deal with pain, love, purpose, sacrifice, humility, doubt, surrender, and forgiveness.
David Gregory's wife, a Christian, made the decision to raise their children as Jewish. This is not a decision I would have made but the book exposes the struggles both have made to do this and the joys that have come as well.
If you're looking your next book, consider this one.
