All That's Holy
All That's Holy: A Young Guy, an Old Car, and the Search for God in America | Tom Levinson
3 posts | 3 read
There's nothing more American than a road trip— and a spiritual road trip at that. From mosque to synagogue to chapel to coffee shop, Tom Levinson's entertaining and erudite stories of conversations with the faithful and the seeking get to the heart of religion in America today. All That's Holy is a fascinating conversational collage set against the backdrop of the author's deepening appreciation— both intellectually and spiritually— of his own religious roots. "Tom Levinson has given us a spiritual Odyssey, an extended adventure in the new meaning of faith and hope. Eloquent, heartfelt, and true, this is a book America needs." — James Carroll, author, Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews and American Requiem, winner of the National Book Award "Tom Levinson has written an engaging and lucid personal essay on a timely and timeless subject." — Joyce Carol Oates, author, A Garden of Earthly Delights, Big Mouth & Ugly Girl, and I'll Take You There

This is a book for everyone, so you don‘t have to believe in something specific in order to read it. I liked it more the second time I read it. Tom is an emotionally intelligent man seeking to understand different perspectives on religion as he travels through the U.S. interviewing people. He diversified the religions or his interviews. There are no conversion requirements. I am still not religious, but I feel like it was worth reading.

I read this book a decade ago in high school for an elective western religions class. I liked that back then, but I liked it more the second time I read it. Tom is an emotionally intelligent man seeking to understand different perspectives on religion as he travels through the U.S. interviewing people. He diversified the religions of his interviews, and I feel I understand my religious peers more. There are no conversion requirements.

I read this book a decade ago in high school for an elective western religions class. I liked it enough to read more than once. Tom is an emotionally intelligent man seeking to understand different perspectives on religion as he travels through the U.S. interviewing people. He interviewed everyone, but left out people who push conversion. I understand my religious peers more.

JohnLAndBenji You don‘t have to believe a certain religion to read this book. It is for everyone teenager and above. (edited) 2y
