Surprised By Oxford

Carolyn Weber's spiritual memoir Surprised By Oxord tells the story of her conversion as it unfolded during her time as a graduate student at Oxford University. The story is interesting, set against the backdrop of life on the campus of Oxford. Weber does a wonderful job of drawing you into her experience of Oxford, her studies, the community and the people she met.
At times it seemed that Weber was trying too hard to be colorful and creative, so much so that it distracted from the story. Nonetheless, this is an interesting and thought-provoking story of God pursuing an intelligent young woman and her critical examination of the gospel before allowing it to speak to her heart.

I received this gratis from BookSneeze in exchange for a review without a guarantee of a positive review.
