A comfortable way to share your faith

This is quite a work! A book containing beautiful photos and wonderful, well written stories of everyday people sharing their faith stories. Don't let the title fool you, one doesn't have to be Presbyterian to enjoy it. The author traveled across the United States by car interviewing people about their faith and how they are using it in service to others. Quite remarkable. To my knowledge there is no other book like this. Use the book as a guide for sharing your own faith journey. I was sitting in a hospital waiting room reading it when someone sat down beside me and asked to see it. Soon we were sharing our own faith stories. Thumbs up on this one!
