Matzah Balls To Communion Wafers

Being Jewish and living in the Bible Belt, Gail Baker was forced to cultivate a faith of her own apart from culture war extremes. In colorful anecdotes and stories,Gail shares her faith journey with readers in Matzah Balls to Communion Wafers. At 37, she shared her conversion with her devout Jewish family after finding herself in a Christian bookstore looking for answers for some recent and painful events in her life. Gail calls herself the “unexpected Christian,” the kind that religious people have a hard time with, yet the very kind of person that Jesus draws in, time and again, in the Gospel accounts. She describes how Jesus’s suffering on the cross helped her to resolve suffering on a deeper level, why she found more power for forgiveness in Christianity, and, finally, how Jesus, as the ultimate co-dependent, took on what she couldn’t bear and remain healthy.
