*Saffron Cross** is the intriguing memoir of Dana, a Baptist minister, and Fred, a devout Hindu and former monk. The two meet on eHarmony and begin a sometimes daunting but ultimately inspiring journey of interfaith relationship and marriage. Trent's compelling vignettes, refreshingly honest and laced with self-deprecating humor, offer readers a glimpse into the challenges of bringing together two vastly different spiritual paths into one household. This book includes chapters on an Indian ashram honeymoon, vegetarianism, sabbath keeping, prayer, and grief, plus other challenges of interfaith relationships. UNIQUE SELLING POINT This memoir of the relationship between two ministers from different faiths shows how even seemingly insurmountable differences can be overcome when God is at the center of a relationship.
