Reviews for Ridiculous Packaging (or, My Long, Strange Journey from Atheist to Episcopalian, in Two Acts)
Do you know someone searching for a faith relationship or a deeper meaning to Christ and His Church?. . . Favreau tells, sometimes in explicit detail, her search from Roman Catholicism to atheism, in and out of Eastern religions, into some professional counseling. Act Two in her book is her discovery of the Episcopal Church over other denominations and one, St. Andrew's in Greensbour, N.C., that gave her acceptance and approval of her searching. It is her journey of searching throughout the book—both before St. Andrew's and after—that makes Favreau's book worth reading.

This memoir tells the story of 30-something Favreau’s journey from Catholicism to atheism to Episcopalianism. . . . The last few chapters couch theological humdingers in autobiography: hermeneutics, sin, suffering, prayer, compassion. . . . Favreau well represents Gen-X spirituality; she is frank about her doubts, and she is as interested in the journey as the destination.
