Earth Has No Sorrow (Lily Connor Mysteries)

I found this book so much better than the first in the series, The Tentmaker. The reader is given a great spiritual insight into Lily Connor's (Episcopal Priest) dilemmas of faith. Lily grew up Roman Catholic before she received the calling to become a priest in the Episcopal Church.
The story reads like a biography of Anna, a missing older Catholic woman of Polish descent who survived the horrors of the Holocaust as a child. The search for her reveals insights into the Roman Catholic faith including conservative, modern and occult practices.
I received a lot more spiritual enlightenment from this book than I would have expected from a work of fiction. The message that people can make mistakes in their life but still be redeemed is strongly enforced.
I would definitely recommend this book to readers of christian fiction and those with an interest in the Catholic, Episcopalian and Jewish faiths and antisemitic cults.
