The Goodreads Choice Awards are the only major book awards decided by readers! Instead of relying on experts or judges, a team from Goodreads analyzed statistics from the 275 million books added, rated and reviewed on Goodreads in 2014.

Here is what some readers are saying about Something Other Than God on Goodreads:

  • “It’s not a neat little “God appeared to me on a fluffy cloud!” story. It’s a real story of a life, a family, a husband and wife, struggling toward what is True and Good and Real. Basically, it’s amazing.”

  • “In an account that reads like a well-written novel, she walks you through her personal journey from hostile atheism to Roman Catholicism. Her fascinating story, intelligent insights, and dry wit made the book a real page-turner.”

  • “Like most of the internet, I got sucked in and didn’t put this one down until I finished…This is definitely a good story.”

  • “It was such a joy to read a well-written book with a compelling story. I know I will reread this many times.”

  • “Funny, intelligent, authentic, and brave.”

  • “I laughed, I cried, I prayed, I celebrated life. Highly recommended.”
