By Leslie, The United States

"This was an interesting book to read. I appreciate the honest discussions the women had with each other about their prejudices and stereotypes. The book is about breaking down barriers set up by our cultures and histories, it is important to challenge those, including my own misconceptions about the Muslim faith. It gives a wonderful, personal account of the Middle East crisis, which I would not have had otherwise. I loved the Jewish prayers in the book, and have kept them.

However, I was disappointed that none of the women had a very real grasp of why they believed the certain way they did. I kept hoping someone would stand up for something specifically controversial about their religious beliefs, and that maybe they could find a way to keep their friendships despite, but that did not happen. So at the end of the day, it is really a book about unlikely friendships with a little religion on the side. Which, still makes for an interesting read."

changed their lives, Jul 10, 2009
By elis, Erie, PA

"At first I found the book a bit trivial reflecting their own simplistic lives. Once they really got engaged in the process the book improved as well. Their experience changed their lives, attitudes and interactions with others - it can be a starting place for those who have no contact with people different than they are. The summaries of the 3 religions in the back of the paperback version is simple but can be helpful for those who know little about the basics of the faith. Worth reading and sharing."

By EJ, The United States

"The book is easy to read because it is arranged in short sections written expertly by each of the three professional writers. When Ranya became worried that her children would have trouble growing up Muslim in a post 9/11 America, she decided to write a children's book showing the similarities between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. To achieve that, she found two other women to work with her. As a result, they formed a Faith Club where they met regularly to discuss religion, faith, life and God. They developed a strong friendship that enriched all their lives as well as their families and associates. As you read the book you feel like you are on their journey with them. They have an ability to write well of deep spiritual feelings. The whole book is not positive however and I would classify it as a tragedy. I didn't like the three women in the beginning. All identified themselves with a particular religion but seemed to think their religion should mold itself to their wants no matter what truth might be. It made me think of a math student who decides 2 + 2 = 5 and refuses to stay in a math class unless the teacher teaches what he/she wants to hear. The book starts out with an introductory statement by each of the writers. When they write of their first meeting, we see the state of religion in America when Suzanne apologizes because she was raised in a nice, Christian, praying, midwestern family. Priscilla's statements offended me often in the beginning. She was determined to be a victim and to blame the whole of Christianity for historical Jewish problems. However, her experiences developing faith in God were some of the most touching and I saw a real peacefulness enter her writing as she developed. In the end Ranya and Priscilla win by Ranya finding an Islamic community consistent with her beliefs and Priscilla finding humility and God. But the tragedy was Suzanne. Throughout the book as she became more tolerant of Islam and Judaism, she became more prejudiced against Catholism and eventually Christianity. Because her two friends were loving and kind but did not believe in Jesus Christ's divinity, Suzanne eventually lost her faith in Him as God's Son and in His redeeming death and resurrection. Though sad in the end, it was a very good book that taught me much about Islam, Judiasm, and Christianity throught the eyes of these women and their Faith Club."

By Michelle, Lowell, AR

"I saw this book in the general religion section at Borders and immediately knew I'd like the book. Since my conversion, comparative religion seems like a natural interest to me. Not only do I love learning about the nuances with Judaism, but I love to learn about the differences in other faiths as well. The book is told through the perspectives of three very different women - a Catholic-turned-Episcopal from Kansas City, a Palestinian-born modern Muslim and a Boston-born Jewish artist.

It is easy to stereotype people because of their faith. I find myself doing it in my daily life. It's something we all do whether we want to cop to it or not. I loved that this book featured three REAL women who were willing to talk about their stereotypes of each others' faiths and break down so many walls in the process.

My only beef with this book was the Jewish author. I think Priscilla is like a lot of Jewish women - at least of the ones I know. She culturally identifies herself as a Jew, but when it comes to the issue of theology she is unsure. She even goes further to question her ties to Israel itself. While I think these are common traits for the average Jewish woman (and I'm glad to see it represented in some way), I did not like that out of the three women she was clearly the weakest in her faith. Throughout the book she seemed to assimilate the most - going so far as to call Jesus "her friend" and called herself "born again."

Now, I do think it's intriguing that a Christian woman and a Muslim woman were able to bring a Jewish woman closer to G-d. But I worry that the book paints Jews as people of rote traditions and lacking emotional connections to their religion.

Of course, the idea of this book is to break down stereotypes, so maybe I'm not giving the average reader enough credit. I'd love for more people to read this book and see what they think.

My favorite line of the book is actually a quote from Gandhi: "A rose does not need to preach. It simply spreads its fragrance.""
