Q:Have you read the book "America's Four Gods: What We Say about God--and What That Says about Us" by Paul Froese and Christopher Bader? I'd love to see Krista dive into a conversation about this book and what the authors have to say! The book really changed how I understand religion and its influence on American culture as well as my own understanding of G!d/dess

No, we haven’t. I’ll take a look on our book pile. After looking at the book’s description, my read is that it probably wouldn’t be the type of interview Krista might conduct for an hour of radio. We most often focus on guests who can reveal a way in through a person’s living out of a faith, tradition, and way of life rather than an author’s findings about a particular subject.

Online, though, we have much more flexibility and a shared but more expansive focus. This book just may be right up our alley. Thanks for the recommendation!
