"By providing vivid descriptions of various faith-stances, Mabry's interesting sketches will motivate serious participants in interfaith dialogue to pursue further knowledge of how differently--and sincerely--belivers experience their faith. In a [...] world of tension fueled by sectarian divisions, Mabry's survey of the landscape of faith is a timely guide for deeper exploration and mutual understanding." -- Wilkie Au, Professor of Theological Studies at Loyola Marymount University and coauthor of The Discerning Heart: Exploring the Christian Path
"A fascinating book, giving tremendous insight into why people of the same religion are often at such odds with others who share their faith. John Mabry peels back the layers of religion to reveal the more basic psychological, social, and spiritual differences between us. A must-read for those trying to understand the human spiritual yearning and why we choose the faith practices that we do." -- N. Graham Standish, Ph.D., M.S.W., pastor, spiritual director, and author of Humble Leadership, Becoming a Blessed Church, and Discovering a Narrow Path.
