Description
Kristin Hahn sets out on a three-year journey to investigate America's religious traditions, practices, and beliefs. She spends a week cloistered in prayer with convent nuns and a month of Ramadan fasting with Muslims, goes door-to-door with young Mormon missionaries, sits through marathon meditations with Buddhist masters, and spends days in conversation and ceremony with an 0jibwe medicine man. Her explorations expose her to the rich, ancient culture of the Jews and bring her into the enclaves of Christian Scientists and Amish farmers, as well as the less traditional realms of Scientology, neopagan witchcraft, and the congregations of new-age gurus.
