Product Description

Think Michele Guinness meets Bill Bryson. Finding Myself In Britain is a witty, insightful look at faith, identity and the quirks of British life by a stranger-turned-friend.

With a conversational style, this book explores rooting our faith in Christ to weather any storm and flourish in the sunshine. It helps readers look at Britain and its culture with fresh eyes while finding Jesus in the midst of it.

"You don't have to be an American to enjoy this book. Or British. Or a vicar's wife. You just have to be somebody who has found themselves in an unusual place, felt a bit out of their depth, and wondered where God was in all of that. That's most of us, I think." Bob Hartman.

Relatable Memoir - Making where you Live Home

This memoir/commentary on British culture is an absolute delight. Having personally moved to the UK from the USA a year ago, this book soothed my expat heart. I found myself often nodding my head as I identified with so much of this book. (I really wish that I had known about it to have read it beforeI moved across the pond as it would have saved me experiencing some culturally awkward moments.) Amy Boucher Pye fell in love with a soon to be Anglican vicar and found herself leaving family and friends to live her life in England. She writes as one would speak to a close friend, leaving the reader feeling like she is just that just a few chapters in. When it makes sense, Amy draws spiritual correlations to her observances of living in Great Britain in a beautiful, not preachy way. The most thought-provoking part of the book for me included an interesting dialogue between herself and Jo Saxton (another favorite author of mine!) regarding both having left each other’s country of origin to serve God in each other’s country – loved what they observed about church and friendship. This seriously is a must read for all expats, Americans, Brits . . .and everyone else!

Are British and Americans really different?

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Having been to the USA a couple of times, I knew that there were differences, but did not realise quite how many! Amy is still slightly biased towards Americans (which is to be expected!) but talks of the differences with humour and wit.

The book is well-written, with lovely anecdotes, and I learnt quite a bit about the workings of the Church of England - I go to a Pentecostal Church, so a lot of the services and annual calendar are a bit different.

Highly recommend this book.
