Republic of Faith The Search for Agreement Amid Diversity in American Religion Book

I've been fascinated with the first two novels of the Anna Pigeon series by Nevada Barr. The stories are good, but the fascination for me is the way Anna thinks and her relation with her sister. This had me wondering about the thinking of the author, so when I found a non-fiction book with "A Skeptics Path to Religion" on the cover, I had to have a look. The book has a bit of biography in the 17 pages of Introduction. After that it has short chapters/essays of about 5 pages on average. She tells her thinking about various topics concerning religion and life and the journey is quite a story. It is ongoing. I found her look at religion very refreshing in that it is not even close to any cookie cutter model. I found here a look at such a beautiful individual experience, one that is alive and growing. Her chapter on "church" was very helpful to me as I look at just why I go to church, because it is a question I have often asked myself. If you like reading her novels, I think you will enjoy this look at the author.
