A Little Kosher Seasoning

By Michele Guinness and Guinness

Michele Guinness responds to the countless people who have asked her for help to live out their Christian faith the Jewish way. Following Child of the Covenant, she reveals more of her own story and how God can be found in the mundane and ordinary, in the daily grind, in washing, eating and working, at home, in the heart of the extended family, and also in vibrant communal celebration. Following the seasons to demonstrate the rhythm of Jewish life, the author includes recipes and Jewish prayers, meditations and suggestions for sevices - not least a Passover service - that can be held in the home as well as in church.

Great book!

I'm glad this book is finally available in the States. This book melds three discussions: the Jewish holidays; the Jewish view of seasons in a person's life, and the author's life. It also contrasts them against the life of the rest of British society. Guiness provides an unusual perspective for looking at these things. She's a Jew who came to believe in Jesus as a teenager and later married to a priest in the Church of England. She melds Shabbat and other holidays in raising her family. In a few places, I feel like she puts down the general English culture a bit too much, but some places, she presents her case very well. In other places, she's just plain wrong, such as when she refers to Jesus as a Pharisee. (Scholars do not associate him with any of the groups that were more popular during the late Second Temple Period.) All-in-all, a nice, light read that provides some insight into the Jewish culture, as well as the Jewish roots of Christianity.
