Dana Vinicoff grew up with Jews, Catholics, Twelve-Steppers, and atheists; and that was just in her immediate family. Since then, she has wandered in fields of agnosticism, various flavors of Christianity, Reform Judaism, and Buddhism. Not content to simply warm a pew, she has usually gotten involved in leading worship at the congregations she attends, whether singing in the choir, leading songs or prayers, or delivering sermons. The variety of her religious experiences ensures that something in this book will speak to you.
