coysquirrel's review against another edition

Overall, I thought this was a great book from a progressive Christian standpoint. Nancy Mairs' writing style has a wonderful flow and is enjoyable and entertaining to read. I can't always say that about most theology/spiritual books, so it was very refreshing to read a book in this genre that I actually wanted to keep reading! I was honestly a bit disappointed that it was so short, because I enjoyed her musings so much. I wish that the book had delved deeper into some of the theological issues, but perhaps the book would have been much more boring if that had been the case. When I originally picked up this book, I assumed that it would have more ideas for practical ways to live an "unconventional Catholic faith," and I was disappointed that I didn't find very much. The author only touches on a few things that she does to live her faith in the last essay. I wish her spiritual, service, and activism would have been elaborated on.

Unconventional is right! Gee whiz. I don't know what to say. Lots of very beautiful ideas, some strange ones, and a nice friendly flow to the language. I am not going to say I loved the book, in fact at times I didn't even like it that much, but it wasn't bad.
