Title: great adult sunday school book
Review: This collection of mostly contemporary short fiction, similar to Curtis's earlier collection ("God: Stories"), is a ready made adult sunday school class on the subject of faith and doubt in literature. It is international in its scope and inter-denominational in its selections. Some of the selected writers are Christian; most are not. Each story illuminates some aspect of faith in a non-didactic way. These are NOT a series of inspirational "feel good" stories about God. They are instead a collection of thought provoking, very well written stories by major writers that probe one of the fundamental ironies of belief in God: that reasonable doubt is a necessary component. For other collections of short stories along these lines, also try "The Celestial Omnibus."
