Book Review in the Methodist Reporter

I recently finished a book from the library called "It's Really All About God: Reflections of a Muslim Atheist Jewish Christian" by Samir Selmanovic. While Samir's background is VERY different than mine--he's from a secular Muslim family and grew up under atheistic Communism in the former Yugoslavia--I feel we are "twin sons of different mothers" or at least "twin children of different parents".

His book is all about letting God out of whatever "box" your tradition may cause you to jam God into. He articulates beautifully many of the thoughts that I've had and feelings I've felt without being able to explain it.

I thought I was the only one in the world to read this delightful book when to my surprise, I saw that it has a very long review in "The Methodist Reporter" that came out this week. Read the review at: www.umportal.org/article.asp?id=6318
