About

The shock and sadness felt during the week following the September 11 attacks drew Americans to houses of worship in record numbers. Regardless of creed, they asked the same questions: Where is God amidst the devastation? How to answer hate with love? Is there hope for peace? This inspirational audiobook helps listeners answer these questions. Featuring excerpted sermons from ten religious leaders, Restoring Faith is a testament to the human capacity for finding strength through faith. Clergy include Forrest Church of All Souls Unitarian Church in New York City; Rabbi Harold S. Kushner of Temple Israel in Natick, Massachusetts; and Imam Al-Hajj Talib 'Abdur-Rashid of the Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood in Harlem. All publisher profits from the sale of this audiobook will go to charities benefiting survivors of the events of September 11.

Reviews

"This compilation of sermons and talks by religious leaders around the country following the events of September 11 provides an extraordinary look at a less visible aftermath of the tragedy…The spontaneity, the laughter and clapping of the congregations, the pauses and tears are genuine and strangely comforting."
Publishers Weekly (audio review)
"The live recordings, which capture sounds and responses from the congregation, convey the deep emotions of each orator in the face of tragedy. A well-done "must listen" for anyone searching for peace and understanding in today's world."
