Synopsis

As the media portrays it, modern Americans live their lives as though God were not part of the picture. Yet according to polls, two out of five Americans attend church weekly and even more profess belief in God. Sharon Gallagher turns her focus on those people who are moving in and out of church attendance, telling the stories of the people who in ways both expected and unexpected have come to faith and are willing to talk about their doubts and joys, and in doing so shows us how God continues to work in the lives of people today.

About this title

Synopsis

Here Sharon Gallagher turns her focus on those people who are moving in and out of church attendance. Often in their late teens people move away from the religious tradition they were raised in. But later in life, these same people may once again feel the need for faith and a spiritual home. Some may be looking for a community. Others may feel faith is necessary in the raising of their children. Still others enter middle age feeling that their financial success hasn't brought them fulfillment. Gallagher tells the stories of the people who in ways both expected and unexpected have come to faith and are willing to talk about their doubts and joys, and in doing so shows us how God continues to work in the lives of people today.
