No matter what you believe, it seems you could easily find something to gain from this book, as she does not push religion as something one must find to be happy in life, but rather details her struggle in finding something that worked for her in finding fulfillment. This was a very interesting memoir to read, as you get a firsthand account of this persons long and complicated struggle with religion, told honestly about her experience.


In Karen Armstrong’s The Spiral Staircase, she tells the story of her lifelong experience with spirituality and religion, beginning with her time in a convent.
