Many may believe that reading a book about religion would be challenging to accomplish for someone who is not religious. But those people have never read Anne Lamott’s, Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith. If one were to ask non-religious college students to read a book by a random author about spirituality and “Finding God” through conversion, they would most likely roll their eyes and bear through it. In Lamott’s series of essays, one does not have to “suffer through the readings” because her writing style is one of a kind. She has strategically chosen every word because she is aware of how important her spiritual experiences are to so many people, religious or not.

Introduction Christianity Encountering World Religions by Terry C. Muck and Frances S. Adeney explains the practice of evangelism and the forms it has had over the centuries. It gives various examples of evangelism used by apostles, missionaries, and priests and what we can draw from those methods today.

I believe that Barton’s book was able to become so popular, even in 1924, due to its provocative nature that inspires thought. Many people during this time period simply followed what everyone else did. For years and years, it was the norm to be a follower of Christ. It meant that you were a good, holy person that could be trusted. However, the 1920s was a period of time where people feigned happiness and greatness.

Writing about controversial subjects can often be difficult; however Hughes executed his story, Salvation, in an intriguing manner that is suitable to all audiences and religions. In this story, the writer retells an experience from his childhood describing his journey to Jesus Christ. Discussing the complications, the main character, Hughes, faced while trying to come to Jesus is what makes the story interesting to read. On many occasions, you will read a story or watch a movie that shows the main character coming to Jesus and having an immediate and obvious realization of their Savior. For this reason, I found this story to be unique and relatable in the way that it shows a journey that countless Christians face, but you are not often granted the opportunity to read about this type of experience.

Next, I would want to meet Guatama to ask why he could never find true enlightenment within other religions. At that point in time there had been endless amounts of people searching for the same thing he was, but they all seemed to find it within other religions. I would like to ask him if he thinks they adapted. The chances of one agreeing with everything in their religion is slim, so do they overlook these things or learn to accept them? Maybe that is what Guatama never wanted

How One Bible Study Changed Me (names are changed) I never thought that going to my church group’s Bible study would do anything huge for me, even though the topic was intriguing.
