Devotion Book Review

Shapiro's newest memoir, a mid-life exploration of spirituality begins with her son's difficult questions-about God, mortality and the afterlife-and Shapiro's realization that her answers are lacking, long-avoided in favor of everyday concerns. Determined to find a more satisfying set of answers, author Shapiro (Slow Motion) seeks out the help of a yogi, a Buddhist and a rabbi, and comes away with, if not the answers to life and what comes after, an insightful and penetrating memoir that readers will instantly identify with. Shapiro's ambivalent relationship with her family, her Jewish heritage and her secularity are as universal as they are personal, and she exposes familiar but hard-to-discuss doubts to real effect.

I enjoyed this story of woman trying to find her faith. It was interesting who she talked to and her experiences while trying to figure out whether to hold onto her Jewish faith or explore other Church's. I found it interesting that she was meditating a lot.

I think that her experiences with their son left her more open to exploring faith and praying.

I find it difficult to rate someone else experiences with their faith and how they came to find their religion. Its a personal experience for each person, and my journey to faith and my experiences are so different. I'm glad that she shared her journey , but not everyone is always open to hear the message.
