A review by nderiley
Jesus Land: A Memoir by Julia Scheeres

5.0

My boyfriend asked me recently, why I read so many fundamentalist religious themed novels when I myself am an atheist. I gave it some thought this afternoon and what I can put into words is that I find the thought process of people so opposite me to be intriguing. One might also wonder why I read so many memoirs about hardship. I find them uplifting, inspiring and sometimes, they just make me grateful for the upbringing I've had. With that in mind, I've read many books that fall into either or both categories.

With the years of books I've read, nothing has come close to touching me the way that Jesus Land just has.
