Book excerpt: Explore the challenges and blessings of interfaith families. For couples of different faiths, navigating issues of marriage and child-rearing add a layer of complexity on the road to happily ever after. Inside Intermarriage is Jim Keen's personal journal as the Christian partner in an interfaith marriage. From deciding to have a Jewish wedding, to raising his children Jewish, to learning about a new culture while maintaining his own religious identity, Keen's candid exploration of the challenges and opportunities offers comfort and strategies to couples starting down a similar road. Complete with stories of other interfaith families, and a discussion guide to help couples consider how to resolve dilemmas around holiday celebrations and family relationships, Inside Intermarriage offers a warm, humorous, and ultimately hopeful message about the power of family connection.
