Faith : Essays From Believers, Agnostics, and Atheists

We have all wrestled with the big questions: Why is there tragedy in our life? Why is there evil in the world? And, whether believer, sceptic, agnostic, atheist or something other, at some point in our lives we all ask: What do I believe?  In FAITH, 23 award-winning and bestselling authors provide thought-provoking, multifaceted personal essays that illustrate their own explorations and struggles with the big questions. Bestselling author, Anne Perry, writes about the deeply spiritual faith that has embraced and sustained her through life, while Malachy McCourt puts forth a heated, anti-religion rant. Pam Houston delivers her signature wit and irony and Tamim Ansary beautifully captures how his Islamic roots led him to the secular mysticism he professes today.  Full list of contributing authors: Anne Perry, Caroline Leavitt, Frank Dabba Smith, Beverly Donofrio, Malachy McCourt, Pam Houston, Aviva Layton, Christine O'Hagan, David Corbett, Tamim Ansary, Amy Ferris, Sylvie Simmons, David Misch, Mara Purl, Barbara Graham, Barbara Abercrombie, Amanda Enayati, Susana Franck, Bonnie Garvin, Dianne Rinehart, Lee Chamberlin, Jacquelyn Mitchard, Carrie Kabak. “This is a great anthology - soul-searching and profoundly moving. Faith reaches into the heart of a person's being, be one a believer, an agnostic or an atheist. I laughed, I cried, but most of all I was inspired to consider: What do I believe?” Sandra Gulland international bestselling author of the Josephine B. Trilogy and The Shadow Queen
