Forty Years Since My Last Confession: A Memoir

Rating:
Summary: The Impulse to Faith
Review: I loved this book, a searingly honest exploration of the impulse to faith. Poignant, funny, and poetic, this spiritual memoir reads like a fast-paced novel. I picked it up, started reading and did not put the book down until I'd turned the last page. The balance between intellectual and spiritual inquiry should appeal to everyone, regardless of religious faith.

Summary: Forty Years Since My Last Confession: A Memoir
Review: Jean Gould has an amazing ability to both chronicle her search and at the same time to chuckle at our human foibles along the way. Her insights relate to each of our experiences and help us to look more closely at ourselves.

Summary: A Journey through Life
Review: Just as a voyager circumnavigates the world and-- by continuing to travel forward--ends up where she began, so Jean Gould has voyaged through her life by continuing to move forward, step by step, until she returns to where she began. But there's much more to it than that. She has shared with us her trials as well as her triumphs, always with sensititivity and compassion both for herself and for those whose paths she crosses. This memoir, about much more than religious faith, is the story of an enlightened journey through life.
