Surprised by Oxford by Carolyn Weber

5.0

Jesus, the great Lover of the soul, woos Carolyn Drake’s soul, causing her to question her beliefs, her life, and especially her relationships. She details her stay at Oxford College, her study of Romantic Literature, and the sure and steady witnessing of her Christian friends. The candid experience of Carolyn’s life in Oxford captivated me. The book holds a great deal of quotations from poets such as C.S. Lewis, Milton, Donne, etcetera, etcetera. I read her story slowly, taking time to think about each chapter. Her story is bread—solid and simple—for the soul. I was inspired to follow Jesus Christ on a deeper journey.
