Believer, The

Krasnostein, Sarah

  0 Reviews

Take six ordinary people, add a quest for meaning, weave through a strong conviction, and examine the weird and wonderful stories that result. From Mennonite missionaries to paranormal investigators, from a death doula to creationists, journalist Sarah Krasnostein respectfully tells their stories of belief systems that are often startling, but always heartfelt.

Written with compassion and empathy, these six portraits of the human condition offer unique insights into our longing to make sense of life, death and everything between.

"Krasnostein is a talented writer and I enjoyed some of her more descriptive phrases and passages."
