xtinamariet 's review for:
The Sparrow
by Mary Doria Russell
An intense, provocative book. The author describes the central theme as "an exploration of the risks and beauties of religious faith," which is perfect.
Other great things she said that might make you want to read the book:
"You can't know the answers to questions of faith, but...the questions are worth asking and worth thinking about deeply."
"We seem to believe that if act in accordance with our understanding of God's will, we ought to be rewarded. But in doing so we're making a deal that God didn't sign onto...God gives us rules but those are rules for us, not for God."
