Restoring Faith: America's Religious Leaders Answer Terror With Hope (Audio Editions)

Summary: Hope in the face of despair
Review: I just read this book more than six months after the terrorist attacks. However, like most Americans I am still struggling with the emotional, intellectual, moral and spiritual challenges presented by those horrific events. These sermons are almost without exception intelligent, honest, sensitive and thought-provoking. There are common themes running throughout the book, but each also offers something unique. The book is predominated by Christian sermons, but also offers Jewish, Muslim and Unitarian-Universalist perspectives.

The only sermon I really didn't care for was the one from the Southern Baptist preacher, who basically said we should trust our government to repond appropriately to the attacks since it is "divinely sanctioned." Bizarre.
