The resulting witty memoir should appeal to Christians and Jews alike (as well as Wiccans, Jains and Bahais, for that matter).”\u003cbr\u003e“Cohen’s witty and trenchant observations on identity and interfaith relations are like an early Christmukkah present.”\u003cbr\u003e“A delicious olio of guilt, longing, surprise, wonder, unease and of course humor, Cohen’s quest has universal appeal. One need not be Jewish, Christian or even a seeker to enjoy this wonderful loop around the Bible Belt.”\u003cbr\u003e“Cohen writes that what he learned from the year’s spiritual journey was that there are many paths people take to find faith in God and there are more similarities than differences in various religions. “Hanging out with Jesus has made me a better Jew,” he writes. Amen to that.”\u003cbr\u003e“My Jesus Year stirs together keen-eyed journalism and a spiritual quest to create a book that can be read both for its heartfelt examination of one man’s religous faith and as a revelatory tour of the landscape of Christian life in the U.S. today. ”\u003cbr\u003e“Cohen is an engaging writer and his book is very well worth reading.”\u003cbr\u003e“Cohen’s prose is insightful, filled with wit, warmth, and wonder.”\u003cbr\u003e“This is the story of how Cohen got his Jew back.”\u003cbr\u003e“This hysterical book is literally one of those ‘laugh out loud’ books that can be imitated, but never duplicated.”\u003cbr\u003e“Cohen’s experiences have been quite different from mine, but the life lesson -- that Christians and Jews can learn a lot about their own faiths from the other -- is the same.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780061245183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"HarperOne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41049207275726,"sku":"9780061245183","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9780061245183_e67cf003-2439-40b5-8742-1ebee0aa1661.jpg?v=1652133802","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780061245183","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
