No God but God
By Reza Aslan
Holy macaroni was this week dense. This week's book is all about the history of Islam and it's ridiculously well researched. Because the book is so well researched it reads like a textbook or a dissertation. I literally have no free time with two little humans always in my face and needing me (it's like they think I'm their mom or something, the nerve right). The month of July is always a mad dash in our household. The fourth of July, VBS, our oldest child’s birthday, and our wedding anniversary is all in one week and a half time period. This year we even threw in a trip to Iowa in the mix.
The couple that lead the discussion on the book in my group have a daughter who has converted to Islam. They have done their research and tried to learn as much as they could about this change in religion their daughter has made. Their daughter has made Islam sound beautiful and she is very devoted to her new path. I am always interested in hearing about other religions and beliefs, not to question what I believe in, but to learn what other people hold to be true in their souls. If you want to learn about Islam you should definitely check this book out!
