Looking for Truth
Meditations on the Gospels by Joy Troyer

Years ago, Joy rejected the Bible as irrelevant and misused.  Now, as a Unitarian Unversalist attending Orthodox Christian services with her husband, she takes a new look at the New Testament, this time looking for truth.  She found a source of wisdom, charity, hope and support from people whose lives were really difficult.  

"This book is lovely, thoughtful, and very readable.  I think many people will be drawn in by Joy's reflections on scripture and on her own life.    There is honesty, humor and a fresh perspective within these pages."  -- Rev. Dr. Nancy Hall
