Believer, Beware: First-Person Dispatches from the Margins of Faith

An engaging collection of ambivalent confessions, skeptical testimonies, and personal revelations of religion lost and found and lost again. Published by Beacon Press in 2009, Believer, Beware features the best from the first incarnation of Killing the Buddha, sharing true tales from the editors, Stephen Prothero, Mark Dery and Bia Lowe among many others who are striving to understand their relationship with the divine. “Shocking, exhilarating, and never dull…. Highly recommended,” according to Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly described it as “smart, candid, and insightful… The voices are refreshingly honest.”
