Must religions be locked houses, or could they be cherished but welcoming gardens? Judith Bruder discovered a different garden, Catholicism, yet still cherished the one where she grew, Judaism. At this time in history, can we allow such choice?CONVERGENCE is the story of a woman called by God, and her spiritual journey from the country of her birth to another land. It is about crossing boundaries and making choices, and it affirms the right and responsibility that each of us has to define our life for ourselves, as ourselves.A woman drawn to God through the mystery and adventure of faith, Judth Bruder is a story teller who ends up living her own wonder-filled story. This book of stories--abot growing up in Brooklyn during World War Two, about watching a War between Men and Women staged by ill-matched parents, about being a woman in a sexist society---is ultimately a love story, about the love for God and the love of God, and how its grace transformed one woman's life.
