American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us Audiobook

" I will take FOREVER to finish this book, but it is AWESOME! "

" Very academic read- but so interesting - especially in the context of our present political climate. "

" very interesting and I just am always amazed that a concept like religion can be such a dividing point among human beings. My idea of religion is that it is practiced to help humans be better humans to their fellow beings. "

" I am listening to the audio. I am at Chapter 9. It is wonderfully comprehensive and it shows that what many ministers found out about the congregations is not isolated. "

" Tackles the question of whether America is still religious. Many statistics though. "

" Tedious and slow, repetitive and very, very long, but not uninteresting. More of a review to come. "

" This book is worth reading simply for the material on ethnicity and religious ties. Well done, though there are times it does get a bit dry with all the statistics. "

" I am really enjoying this book. It is huge but is giving a very complete picture of religion in America. Very interesting! "

" Some interesting information. Engaging writing despite graphs and stats. "

" Couldn't finish this book before it was due back at the library. I am thinking of buying my own copy. It is a fascinating read and I am learning a lot! "

" A better magazine article than book. "

" Bogged down in statistics in places, but still an interesting read; the portraits of individual congregations ("vignettes") help a lot to break up the numbers crunching. Audio narrator did a wonderful job making such a challenging project come alive. "

" Yeah I finished this a long time ago. Sorry. It's good. I will always be interested in how religion influences culture. Don't have much to say. "

" This is a scholarly book, weighing in at over 600 pages. The research is important and well-documented, but my interests probably would have been just as well served by a journal article (or even a magazine article)--which is not the authors' fault, but my own :) "

" Probably best as a reference tool. I was overwhelmed, so I started at the top of the index and worked my way through, stopping to read topics that interested me. These two men were meticulous, meticulous, meticulous! "

" I am listening to the audio. I am at Chapter 9. It is wonderfully comprehensive and it shows that what many ministers found out about the congregations is not isolated.<br/> "

" Informative and fascinating demographic and sociological study of American religious life. "

" Tackles the question of whether America is still religious. Many statistics though. "

" This book had an intriguing beginning with stories about the Saddleback mega church in CA. But it quickly devolved into a stat lesson. Perhaps after Chapter 6 there was a change back but I didn't want to find out. "

" This is a revealing and detailed look at religious belief in the United States. It's best for a statistics nerd, however. Still, I found it very engrossing. "

" Bogged down in statistics in places, but still an interesting read; the portraits of individual congregations (&quot;vignettes&quot;) help a lot to break up the numbers crunching. Audio narrator did a wonderful job making such a challenging project come alive. "

" This book is VERY LONG and filled with statistics. It was helpful for my lesson plan for my humanities class, but a very slow read. I was hoping for more religions in the book, but it focuses mainly on Christianity. "
