Customer Reviews

Funny and Insightful

I picked this up as an impulse buy and once I started reading it, had trouble putting it down. As a recent college graduate working a retail job, I understand the frustration of not having a job in your major. Jennifer's story is great for recent college graduates and anyone who isn't sure what direction his or her life is taking and wonders "Is this really all meaningful?" This book will show you that no matter your circumstance, you're really not alone, and things really can work out in the end.

Excellent read!

I found myself completely immersed in this book from the author's opening comments. Her engaging descriptions of people she meets along her life's path along with her raw honesty and sense of humor make this book a wonderful read. The author asks questions about life in the post college zone that are refreshingly real and vulnerable. This book is smart, witty, and speaks to the heart of those searching for life's meaning among seemingly unconnected experiences. Highly recommended.

Clever, fresh, and witty... the possibilities are endless.

Fantastic! A hilarious and eye-opening page-turner. This book kept me wanting more with every chapter. I love how the author reveals her honest perspective about the world she's found herself in the middle of. She skillfully describes this world full of fascinating (to say the least) people and experiences, just waiting to change her life in subtle, powerful ways. Everyone can relate to this book somehow: have you ever wondered why you're in the place you're in? What crazy lessons life is trying to teach you? Been amused by intriguingly random interactions? Frustrated with choices you've made? With Faith and the City, you'll be reminded that life's possibilities pop up in the most perplexing places. I highly recommend this book.

It has been a long time since I found a book that I could not put down. I read this book in hours!!! The author expresses her struggles with life after college in the city. I don't think this book is just for after college grads. I believe so many people can relate to this book, because we have all lived in fear at one time or another in our lives wanting an answer. Go get this book today I guarantee it will open up your mind!!

Unassuming, Thoughtful... with a 'lil LOL

Seeing that I spent a Friday night reading this book in it's entirety, I can truly say that I relate to the story of living in a city that doesn't feel like home. The author is refreshingly honest, funny, and presents her story in a way that makes the reader think about their own life. The pages are filled with entertaining stories, told from a thoughtful and free-thinking voice. If you haven't bought this book yet...DO IT!
