Although best known as an award-winning sportswriter, Pluto has also earned a reputation--and a growing audience--for his down-to-earth musings on more spiritual subjects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis followup to his first collection, \"Everyday Faith,\" offers 28 all-new thoughtful essays on faith in everyday life--practical topics such as choosing a church, lending money to friends, dealing with jerks, sharing your faith, visiting the sick, even planning a funeral. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerhaps it's because Pluto doesn't claim to have the answers that so many readers are drawn to his writing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Real faith writing should be about real life,\" Pluto says. \"I write as much about my failures as my triumphs, because that is what a life of faith is about. It's often as much suffering as celebration, with lots of mundane, everyday stuff in between. I write for people who may have been hurt by someone in church, people who have been discouraged by one who claimed to speak for God ... I write for people who have found contentment in their faith but want a deeper relationship with God.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Pluto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1598510509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781598510508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gray \u0026amp; Company Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Terry Pluto","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047336341759,"sku":"9781598510508","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e78a6796-e992-47cf-8340-ea9780577b9d.jpg?v=1684989623","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/faith-and-you-volume-1-terry-pluto-9781598510508","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
