What a lovely review!!! I am now intrigued and want to read this book. Coming from a religiously abusive background, I am always looking for a positive take on God. I don't mean to offend anyone here by saying this, but I have always thought that we just worship in different ways. I may disagree with the way people act out their beliefs, but we could all do with a bit more kindness toward each other, regardless of our faith.

My take away is that Christianity should be used to unite instead of divide. One should not be discriminated for their choice of religion. It is informative and can be used to clear up some misconceptions concerning different religions. I recommend it.

This was such an informative review! I don’t enjoy religious books so I won’t be reading it but hopefully it provides inspiration to other struggling with a similar issue.

Quite inspirational, Judeo-Christianity based novel "A Search For Truth " by Sylvia L. Lewis,which tells the story of a young woman,Cynthia Johnson, who is trying to find her place between two seemingly different faiths. This book appears appealing to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Appears to be an intensive profound encouraging based novel under a strict label discusses Judeo-Christianity. The story built around a woman Cynthia Johnson confusing around two beliefs repudiates as it were and endeavors to be consistent with her base qualities yet stay dedicated to Christ. Great review, RachelEmmanuel. You are much appreciated for your effort.

It is obvious that the author has made every attempt to make this instructional book more enjoyable to read by presenting the information in the form of a novel.

This seems like a book with good descriptions of the Christian religion. Not my type of book though, so I'll pass.

This is not my type of book and certainly one that I won't be reading. But I'm sure individuals who enjoy religious novels may like this one based on the review. Congratulations to the author on receiving BOTD honors.

I've always appreciated people who were lost but found Jesus along the way; it's always an inspiration.
Such a riveting piece!

I think more and more people are getting away from organized denominated based faiths. This book would be a great read for them because it is based more on spirituality than a denomination. Thank you for the great review.

From the sample and review I found this book to be a well-crafted story about a young girl from a wealthy family who learns about her heritage. I can imagine the questions and points of consideration within the book would be useful for discussion groups and those who are also on their own spiritual journey. I like the way the author uses a fictional story, with the main characters of Cynthia and Robert, to explore a person’s faith journey. I particularly enjoyed the introduction and the inclusion of the Walt Whitman poem which sets the stage for what is to follow. Thank you for this review.
