The Faith Club

80/100
👍 Worth It

Three women — Muslim, Christian, Jewish — doing the genuinely uncomfortable work of examining their own assumptions about each other's faiths in the shadow of 9/11. Kirkus called it 'rare for religion nonfiction' and that holds: the conversations get uncomfortable in ways that feel earned rather than performed. The interfaith reading group that takes this seriously will come out changed.
