    Faith and Practice, they go together
  

*by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2006*

This book is a pretty quick, easy read... but it could end up taking a big bite out of your current allotment of "free time." That is if you decide that you want to implement any of Winner's suggestions, especially in relation to Sabbath or Lord's Day observances. I admit I am intrigued by her description of Jewish Sabbath practices.I appreciated her observation on the liturgy:  "Even my friend Meg, who left the too-liturgical Episcopal Church for a praise-song-singing, spontaneous-prayer-praying charismatic church, will, I suspect, discover that she is doing liturgy: After enough time, the rhythm of the praise songs and the (seemingly) spontaneous prayers will become familiar and even routine, a liturgy of its own."As a Lutheran who is a former "charismatic" I am often amused and sometimes annoyed by people who look down their noses at the liturgy because everything is written down and repeats itself week after week. My own experience has taught me that the free-flowing-move-of-the-Spirit churches can be just as repetitive and more so. After singing the same twelve word praise chorus for the thirteenth consecutive time, I start pulling out my beard.Thank God for diversity! I have shed buckets of tears in both kinds of services and God has met me and ministered to me in both places. There are positive aspects to each; and there is always danger of spiritual stagnation no matter where you choose to go to church. What you take away from worship will depend in large part by what you take with you going in.Okay, enough from me... back to the book. I am giving this book four stars. It was enjoyable and it was interesting. It held my attention through its brief pages, but I don't think it changed my life. That is probably more of a statement about where I am spiritually than it is about the content of the book. I agreed with much of Winner's commentary on Christian life and practice and perhaps that's why I held back one star. I pretty much believe what she believes so I wasn't forced to examine my beliefs or practices. We're already on the same page. That doesn't mean that this book couldn't be life changing for someone and I would definitely recommend it.

    Mudhouse: Searching, but not there yet.
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2016*

I found this book to be sadly unsatisfying. I am a Lutheran pastor who grew up in a Jewish community, and I continue to enjoy long and loving relationships with several Jewish friends, one of whom I have only known for over 40 years. I have also been involved in inter-faith dialogue throughout my years in the ministry. Perhaps the problem I had with the book stems from the fact that by her own description, Ms. Winner was new to the Christian faith and its traditions when she wrote the book. She was clearly unaware of the many customs that were part of your religious life that are different between Christians from different parts of the world, which is in high contrast to the similarity in practices amongst those of the Jewish tradition no matter where you grew up or which of the 3 basic branches of Judaism you followed. Whether she was speaking about her Jewish relatives and friends, or her new Christian community of faith, too many things full of beauty and meaning were entirely left out, or simply glossed over. I read this book with a group of Lutheran women over a 7 week period, and during every session I had to introduce information about both Jewish and Christian practices and their meanings, because far too much had been left out for the women in the group to be able to come to some new understanding of both religions. I found the book to be more of a memoire about what Ms. Winner missed from her years growing up in a Jewish home, and what she experienced in her as yet unexamined journey into Christianity. Perhaps she would have done better by taking 3 deep breaths and waiting for another 3 years to pass before writing "Mudhouse Sabbath."

    A Great Little Book
  

*by J***1 on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2011*

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  Lauren Winner, the author was raised a kosher Jew and then converted to Christianity as an adult in college.  As a practicing Christian, Winner realizes that she misses some of the spiritual disciplines that came from her Jewish upbringing, so the book is about how to adapt some Jewish spiritual disciplines to Christian beliefs.  She talks about eating, the image of the body, mourning, keeping the Sabbath and many other things that could inform Christian practice and deepen it.  I felt that her observations and suggestions were greatly insightful and practicable.  Winner's writing style made me feel like I was sitting next to her at the Mudhouse Cafe, her favorite coffee shop which lends it's name to the title of the book.  I would recommed this book for anyone wishing to deepen their connection to the spirit in their everyday lives.  It's a wonderful book.
