<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Chosen by the esteemed fiction editor of the "Atlantic Monthly," the stories in this volume broaden the conversation begun in "God: Stories." Here are tales rooted in Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, Quaker, and Confucian as well as Jewish and Christian beliefs.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Expanding the conversation begun in God: Stories, this important gathering of writers explores the diverse world of faith in all its guises: Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, Quaker, and Confucian beliefs, as well as Jewish and Christian ones. From James A. Michener to Gabriel Garcia Marquez, from Amy Tan to Hanif Kureishi, Faith: Stories investigates the boundaries of faith and ritual in everyday life. In one story, a one-eyed Chinese child learns that all heavens are not the same. In another, a wealthy moneylender finds a relic of the Prophet Muhammad and decides to keep it instead of returning it to its shrine. In a third, a father whose son begins to blindly preach the Koran becomes engaged in a fanaticism of his own.<br> With subtlety and surprise, wit and candor, these stories explore issues of faith such as sacrifice, superstition, myth, and disbelief. Together they form an illuminating prism of the religious experience in today's world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>These beautifully written stories provide a useful platform for reflection and discussion of what it means to have faith.
