Rachel has had a wonderfully rich Christian heritage and has lived her life for God and for converting her friends etc. However when one tragedy after another strikes, her faith is truly tested. It is sometimes easy to believe when everything is going well. This book is a little like a modern day Job. However, Rachel initially turns her back on God and tries what the real world is like, with a friend. She walks a path that allows her to realise her weaknesses and eventually her mistaken image of God. This story is well told, portraying how our God will gently draw us back to Him, and correct our misconceptions even when we stray. I highly recommend this book.

Reinventing Rachel
I enjoyed reading this book despite not particularly liking the main character. At the start of the story Rachel comes across as shallow and naive. She views the non-church attending people in her life as potential 'projects' to convert rather than potential friends. Her world falls apart and her faith is shaken because God hasn't given her a perfect life. \\r\\n\\r\\nI struggled to identify with Rachel during the first few chapters because she acted like a spoilt princess and seemed to lack an understanding of how suffering is part of the Christian journey. I nearly put the book down but I was intrigued by the story premise. I'm glad I kept reading. \\r\\n\\r\\nWe journey with Rachel as she turns her back on her childhood faith. She explores a different world in Chicago that is foreign to her previously sheltered life experiences in California. Without her faith to define her decisions, Rachel struggles to build a meaningful new life. Tragedy strikes and Rachel is forced to evaluate the direction of her life. I recommend this book to those interested in reading a story that shows what could happen to young believers who fall away from a childhood faith that hasn't prepared them to face real world challenges.
