What could be more mundane or less religious than shopping? Yet shopping asks us to choose our values and weigh the good in everyday terms. It also brings us instantly in contact with the myriad relationships and labor of people all over the world who have grown, harvested, or crafted the food, clothes, and other items with which we sustain and adorn our lives. Michelle Gonzalez, whose work on spirituality has lifted up the life practices of Latina women, explores the rich material on economic activity and relationships in the Christian tradition and the larger pertinence of our actions in an era of globalized economic interconnection.

Great concept but this book is not meant for the casual reader. I found good points and highlighted some things but it was a struggle to wade through the language of some sections that were more like a textbook. In addition, the author wasted pages telling us what she was going to present and then summarizing it all at the end. The book really wasn't long enough for that to be necessary. Perhaps it helped her hit her required word count.

Interesting topic but I just felt like I was reading a really long essay.
